I downloaded Microsofts visual 2012 this week, and to be honest it’s got a very different look and feel to 2010, and I am not sure if I like it. It comes by default all white theme with hardly any colours, the icons in the solution explorer and the toolbars have changed, the entire image and logo of VS has changed. I think it might take a little while getting used to it then I might start loving it, I will come back in a few days to give a proper review and verdict.
Having said all that I have noticed some nice new features, in the xaml when I use a hex code for a colour the editor highlights the code with the actual colour. I must also mention the parallel build when you compile take a look at task manager you will see numerous msbuilds running. This I love as it speeds my build since it uses my multi-core system.
Watch this space…
