Unfortunately yes :/ - the model changed. The old color shemes had a
structure that allowed to inherit from each other and some colors got
added/removed to achieve the vs.net compatibility. Some people tried to
do a .vssetting importer before, but failed for these reasons. The only
way was to change the model.
To make that clear I changed the format to .json. But the due to the
color inheritance (which wasn't used in a nice way :( ) the color
schemes frequently broke. Now with the new model I think it'll be more
stable in the future.
(Esp. now that versioning is supported)
Sorry for breaking the color schemes :( - but I hope that the big
http://studiostyl.es/ color scheme list makes up for it. One thing I now
really would like to have is a better color editor for our text editor.
But I don't think that I'll find time for that this year :( (but I can
be wrong).
Regards
Mike
