How to change background color of solution explorer tab in Productivity Power Tools?

I have docked the solution explorer window as a tabbed document solution explorer, and I am changing the background colors of all file types such as: (.html, .js, .css, and so on) using Productivity Power Tools.

Is there a possibility to change the background color of the solution Explorer Tab in the Custom Document Well?

P.S: my Visual Studio is VS2015 Community Edition.

Solution

  • My installed VS2015 version is Professional but this should still work:

    Enable color coding by regex

    Tools-> Options -> Productivity Power Tools -> Custom Document Well -> General: In Group Box "Tab Appearance" switch on Color tabs by regular expressions

    Color coding for solution explorer

    Tools-> Options -> Productivity Power Tools -> Custom Document Well -> Color Coding: On the bottom, type in a new Reg. Ex with value Solution Explorer and pick your wanted color.
