Tab background coloring based on Project type   
Here's what I am aiming to do.

I have created a VSPackage that works with special commands/menus etc
for users' C# projects (subtyped from C# project types). These
projects are in a single solution. There are 5 such projects in that
solution. All the projects perform different aspects of a single
module. So they are separated in projects as per their functionality.

Now the C# files are named as per the screen names in all the 5
projects. So a file called ProfileEdit.cs will have the same name in
all the 5 different projects. When a user is working on ProfileEdit,
he might have all the 5 ProfileEdit.cs open in the editor. There needs
to be a visual usable way for the user to distinguish which open file
belongs to which C# project. We do not want to change the name of the
file with a prefix or a suffix. We only need to a visual clue of the
opened cluster of files in the editor about their belonging to type of
project.

One suggestion is the tabs on the top of the editor to have different
background colors depicting those 5 projects - 5 different background
colors. So users can quickly open any of these and work with them
simultaneously faster.

Please advice on how this can be achieved programmatically in VSI. Any
pointers are appreciated.
