Tabs Studio Blog (organizing Visual Studio document tabs)

I’ve created the MvcGroup add-in that groups ASP.NET MVC controller and view tabs near each other (a controller is placed before views). This add-in also adds IsController, IsView and GroupName properties that can be used to color MVC tabs by type and/or by group name. See the following two examples:

<Style TargetType="TabsStudio:Tab" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultTabStyle}">
  <Style.Triggers>
    <MultiTrigger>
      <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
        <Condition Property="TabsStudioMvcGroup:Properties.IsController" Value="True"/>
        <Condition Property="IsTabSelected" Value="False"/>
      </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
      <Setter Property="Background">
        <Setter.Value>
          <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
            <GradientStop Color="#F5F5F5" Offset="0"/>
            <GradientStop Color="#B0D0B0" Offset="1"/>
          </LinearGradientBrush>
        </Setter.Value>
      </Setter>
    </MultiTrigger>
    <MultiTrigger>
      <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
        <Condition Property="TabsStudioMvcGroup:Properties.IsView" Value="True"/>
        <Condition Property="IsTabSelected" Value="False"/>
      </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
      <Setter Property="Background">
        <Setter.Value>
          <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1">
            <GradientStop Color="#F5F5F5" Offset="0"/>
            <GradientStop Color="#B0B0D0" Offset="1"/>
          </LinearGradientBrush>
        </Setter.Value>
      </Setter>
    </MultiTrigger>
  </Style.Triggers>
</Style>
