Here are the results on my Windows taskbar. The global XML file contains "SolutionSet" elements where you define solution folders and names, and the title formulas to use for each: In addition to these default title formulas, you can set up titles for specific solutions, saved to either a file that lives with that solution or to a central "global" XML file: Extension for Visual Studio - This lightweight extension allows changing the window title of Visual Studio to include a folder tree with a configurable min depth and max depth distance from the solution/project file, and the use of special tags to help with many other possible scenarios (Git, Hg, TFS, SVN. I like to use "|" between solution name and parent path in design mode and emojis to simulate video player "play" and "pause" buttons in running and break modes: You can build different titles for design mode, running mode and break mode. There are a lot of tags you can use, and they're defined in the "Supported Tags" option window: "", "") to define how titles should be formatted: The extension allows you to use "tags" (e.g. Here's the default taskbar button title experience: (You can enable it via the "Tools | Options | Environment | Preview Features | Use compact menu and search bar" menu.) The title is also displayed on Windows taskbar buttons, though. Unlike previous Visual Studio versions, VS 2019 by default doesn't have a title bar in the app window. This extension, as you can probably guess from its name, customizes the Visual Studio window title. I usually choose a bright color for the web solution (since it's the up-front pretty solution), and a darker version of that color for the API solution: A foreground color of black or white is automatically chosen - whichever is most readable against the background: The "Pick title bar color" button pops up a color picker to choose a background color. Your color choice is "remembered" and re-applied every time you open the solution: It just adds a toolbar with buttons you can use to set the color of the title bar on a per-solution basis. These are two Visual Studio 2019 extensions that help. When you do that, it can be confusing to tell which instance is which. I also frequently work on multiple feature branches at once, so it's not uncommon for me to have three or four Visual Studio instances going. The main application I work on is an ASP.NET web site with a separate API back end site, so I usually have the web solution running in one Visual Studio instance and the API solution in another. If you're like me, you usually have multiple Visual Studio solutions open at the same time.
