Integrated vertical tabs
Visual Studio 2019 16.4 Preview 2 adds the vertical tabs layout option to the core product:
Tabs Studio continues to work as usual if you keep the tab layout option set to the default Top value, but I’d like to use this opportunity to improve vertical tabs usage experience. More specifically, when vertical tabs are activated in VS 2019, Tabs Studio reuses this area to show tabs, instead of showing them in a separate tool window:
If you want to try it yourself, install Visual Studio Preview.
Enable vertical tabs in Visual Studio options:
And install Tabs Studio v4.6.2.

Visual Studio 2019 inactive tab text
Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2.2 includes an updated blue theme that makes inactive tab text in Tabs Studio invisible:
One workaround to fix it is applying the following Tabs style:
<Style TargetType="TabsStudio:Tab" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultTabStyle}">
<Style.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsGroupFocused" Value="False"/>
<Condition Property="IsTabSelected" Value="True"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static vs_shell:EnvironmentColors.FileTabInactiveTextBrushKey}}"/>
</MultiTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
The fix will be included in the next Tabs Studio release.
