Make color patches on a tab right-click menu view modes item
Dear Christian, please make view modes accesible via the tab right-click menu, possibly with the color patches to make possible quick color marking in cluttered multiple tab arrangements.
It is it! but i want also color patches on the menu

Dear Christian, here I want to say a big thank you for implementing such a useful function!
23.08.16 Added: Show view mode tab colors and icons in current tab context menu (32/64)
But I want also to ask you to make in this menu a selected item not selected with a checkmark, but selected like a pressed icon with the color and icon. This is like you do in the main menus and also a bit strange to see selected "Yellow" mode with the only checkmark.
Here I can see a beautiful implementation of the selection of the view modes in the main menu, but, unfortunately selected mode also not shown and marked with a non-understandable dot ((
It would be great if you make view modes selection in the tab menus like you do these items in main menu - comfortable for the eye and for choosing, with the cozy gradients and full sized icons, but also with selected items marked like a pressed icon !with the color and icon!

In my tests, the current item wasn't obvious enough this way. Therefore I decided to show the current item with a checkmark instead, since you can already see the icon and color on the current tab.

No, unfortunately not - the context menus are not owner drawn, so I have to set the icons as custom checkmark icons. They do support gradients, but only when using Windows themes. When using classic theme, Windows seems to use a reduced set of colors, and doesn't resize the menu items when the icons are larger.
