Visual Studio 2019 inactive tab text

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Sergey Vlasov @ 11:29 pm

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.

Tabs Studio v4.5.0 released:

  • Added support for Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1.1.
  • Added a new sorting rule type TabNameUntransformed (it ignores tab title transformations by other add-ins) and made it the default one in the Sorter add-in.
  • Created the OrderKeeper add-in that remembers a tab position when it is closed and restores the position when the tab is reopened.
  • Created the OpenDesigner add-in that adds a context menu command to open a corresponding [Design] view.
  • Changed the PriorityGroup add-in to ignore tab title transformations by other add-ins.
  • Changed the SuperName add-in to not add a project name to the PriorityGroup super group.
  • Added support for solution folders and database projects to the Sync add-in.
  • Removed the “Close All But Tool Windows” command from the context menu in VS 2017.
  • Fixed the Sorter add-in to correctly tag the fist super group tab after the PriorityGroup super group.
  • Fixed a Visual Studio hang when adding a tab to the priority group with Sorter and SuperName add-ins enabled.
