Description

Describe the feature you'd like

For easier navigation, especially when working with multiple projects within the Solution Explorer tree in a single window, it would be helpful if projects' names were displayed in bold. Highlighting project name in bold would make it much easier to quickly recognize the desired project.

Alternatives considered

At the moment, when I lose track of which project I'm working in a single window, I rely on the project's expand/collapse arrow to identify it.
