how to duplicate Expression Suite 3 dark theme in Visual Studio 2008

Question
-
hello, could anyone assist in finding a "fonts and colors" theme for visual studio 2008 that matches the dark theme used by expression suite 3 (particularly blend). i searched all over microsoft.com and google, but have not been able to find anything that comes close. it would seem basic functionality for two software products that were designed for use in the same work environment. moving from visual studio 2008 to expression suite, then back again using the default color themes can be uncomfortable at best.
i have seen some well crafted ideas in blogs and comment pages, but most only change the text editor in vs2008. i am looking for the full visual studio 2008 application (file menu, solution explorer window, toolbox, etc.) to duplicate the expression suite 3 dark theme.

Hello, Philos
Your requirement was off-topic in visual studio extensibility forum. So I moved your thread.
Thanks

hello SachinW and Chao Kuo and YiChun Chen,
Please work with your Microsoft friends in the forum community offline to help me figure a solution to this problem.
i posted a similar question in the "Visual Studio Setup and Installation" forum last year. the response was that this question was off topic for that forum as well:
