Visual Studio 2010 looks like Hot Dog Stand

colorsvisual studio 2010

This is what my Visual Studio 2010 window looks like. Obviously not ideal.

enter image description here

I used to have C# 2010 Express installed, all was fine, something happened, and then the colors went like this. I uninstalled everything, and installed a new copy of VS2010 Premium. The colors are still crazy.

I imported the .vssettings file from my work pc, but this only seems to have affected the editor window.

Any ideas how to get back to the default colors? (Resetting the settings via Import and Export Settings doesn't work, it just affects the editor window and the various things on the sides like Solution Explorer)

Sorted now. Somehow I had a key in the Registry hive Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0 called UseDebugColorScheme. Deleted that, and the colors are back to normal.
