I don't have time to tinker with this, but I think it could be addressed by setting one of the different styling options in Options[$FrontEnd, AutoStyleOptions] (also see in the options inspector) – rm -rf♦ Oct 26 '12 at 20:13

So this is a different solution to the problem of different notebooks/different contexts. What about using different kernels? You can add more kernels by going to the Evaluation menu and selecting Kernel Configuration Options. I have multiple local kernels that I'll use for just this reason. – user4368 Oct 26 '12 at 21:08
