I've browsed many add-in samples and reference. There's no one to
change the text color of the tree view of SE. My goal is to set files
to different colors by some conditions. The VSS only changes the icons,
so how about the font?

Thanks.

I don't think that is customizable, the Solution Explorer honors the Windows
colors that the user has set in the system.

Also notice that a friendly/accesible user interface should not rely
exclusively on colors to convey information, since some people (including
me) have problems distinguishing colors. For that reason icons and textual
information should be used too.
