When you switch from the dark theme to the light theme invalid color settings will be returned via the API. Please see this for more information: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsx/thread/ebbcd9dd-636f-47c3-9184-04acb921e181/

I've also created a sample here: http://windowscoding.com/invalidfontsandcolors.zip

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Download and run the sample package (http://windowscoding.com/invalidfontsandcolors.zip). Then look in the output window and then change the theme and verify the incorrect settings in the output window.

Will this be going out with VS 2012 Update 1? I didn't see it in the CTP3 notes? We will not be implementing the work around as we are awaiting the official patch..
