Normally the Tabs in Visual Studio contains only text.
But if there is not enough space there are icons instead of the text.
Is it possible to always show these icons additionally to the text? Because I assume that this would really improve the readability.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Show tabs in multiple rows . Excess tabs will be shown on additional rows.
First, click and hold the title bar with the mouse, and then drag the window to where you want to dock it. Visual Studio displays some docking icons. Four icons are at the edge of the IDE, one each at the left, top, right, and bottom. These icons are used for docking the window at the given edge of the IDE.
This is the Adaptive Formatting behavior in Visual Studio: the Editor heuristically determines if the current file should use Tabs or Spaces for indentation. To turn off this behavior, please go to Tools > Options, and then Text Editor > Advanced > Uncheck "Use adaptive formatting".
It seems like there is NOT a way to show both the text AND icons, its either the text or the icon (when resizing the window). This is true for both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
