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.

Color and icon are both candidates to display in these menu items.

Is color and icon still candidates?
Is it worst to Name view modes jus "Green" and "Red" ((

I'm considering it, at least the icons.

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.

Dear Christian, can you make view modes selection in the tab menus like you do these items in main menu - full sized, with patches with gradients?

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.
