Highlighting palette

I’ve added the ability to highlight tabs with different colors from Tabs Studio context menu:

If you use just one color (still accessible with Ctrl+Click), but want to change it, the custom style is slightly different now (note the new HighlightIndex property):

<Style TargetType="TabsStudio:TabInternals" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultTabInternalsStyle}">
    <Style.Triggers>
      <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=(TabsStudioMarker:Properties.HighlightIndex),
                 RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=TabsStudio:Tab}}" Value="1">
          <Setter Property="Background">
              <Setter.Value>
                   <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
                       <GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.9"/>
                       <GradientStop Color="Green" Offset="0.9"/>
                   </LinearGradientBrush>
              </Setter.Value>
          </Setter>
      </DataTrigger>
  </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

In this Marker update I’ve also removed a small gradient transition in underline, fixed occasional loss of first tab highlighting after loading a solution in VS 2010, slightly changed highlight commands placement in the context menu.

  1. Hi, I am using Saver 1.0.3.0 and it does not place my opened documents in the same order as I had them after a visual studio restart. I also noticed that it does not open any Team System documents after the restart although they are listed in ProjectName.tss.

    Thanks
    Charles.

    • Charles,
      Can you enable the Troubleshooter add-in and send me (support@TabsStudio.com) a log of problematic Visual Studio solution loading? Troubleshooter creates log files in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sergey Vlasov\Tabs Studio directory.
      As for Team System documents, the Saver add-in doesn’t open any documents, it only changes tab order. I can’t check right now why documents are not opened by Visual Studio as I don’t have Team System installed.
