Adds a toolbar that allows to set the color of the title bar on a per solution basis. The color you choose is saved for every sln path and will be set automatically you open the solution the next time.
The left button pops up a color picker, the right one resets the setting back to the Visual Studio default and removes the settings entry for the current sln file (if any).
Note that the toolbar is not shown by default after installation. Right click on the a free space inthe toolbar area and select "Solution Color" there.
Sample:
(Text color is automatically chosen between white or black)
