Color indent guide lines

[Phoenix616]

Expected Behavior

• There should be an option to color the indent guide lines the same as the curly brackets on that level:
  

• Maybe it could use a sightly opaque/darker version of the bracket color as the bright one might be a bit much:
  

Current Behavior

• Indent guide lines use one color for everything:
  

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 5.9.1

Some useful info : Change color of code fold markers and guide lines. If we are going to implement this feature we need to override the built-in color settings.

[kamronbatman]

@izhangzhihao, I think that is expected?

[izhangzhihao]

It's a nice to have feature I think.

[Polyterative]

This would be absolutely fantastic

[RacerDelux]

Agreed. Very useful feature. Helps to distinguish code blocks a bit better.

[YiiGuxing]

We need to paint our own indent guide:

1. Create a range highlighter and add it to MarkupModel : MarkupModel.addRangeHighlighter() ;
2. Add a CustomHighlighterRenderer to the range highlighter: RangeHighlighter.setCustomRenderer(CustomHighlighterRenderer) ;
3. Paint custom indent guides in CustomHighlighterRenderer.paint() .

See: com.intellij.codeInsight.daemon.impl.IndentsPass .

I would L O V E this feature

[shoelessness]

Perhaps there could also be an option to color the indents, not just the guides, as vscode-indent-rainbow does?

[JTBrinkmann]

this probably is beyond the scope of this plugin, but the indent guide highlighting of the Atom package indent-guide-improved might offer some inspiration for good UX.

[willemjanvdun]

Love this idea! You have got my vote ;)

[TheBestPessimist]

Btw, intellij already provides this in a way:

[mattbishop]

I'd like to see this much more explicit. VS Code has a plugin that colorizes the indent space: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=oderwat.indent-rainbow

[charl-nml]

The VS Code plugin @mattbishop mentions above is super handy.

[tomcatnach]

+1 for this issue, really makes me want to use VSCode as somebody who has to format YAML.

[YiiGuxing]

It's Coming Soon!!!

[vroudge]

Amazing ! I've been following this issue for such a long time, I'm so happy that this is happening. It was the ONE feature I liked from VSCode and that I wanted. Thank you!!

That looks really cool! I could imagine that the highlighting could get annoying after a while so maybe there could be an option to toggle that behaviour? (if that isn't already planed)

[YiiGuxing]

@Phoenix616 The default is disabled because it is not perfect and there are still some issues that need to be resolved.

[Phoenix616]

I was more referring to an option disabling the highlight effect when selecting the block (so that it just stays the same color without getting brighter)

[YiiGuxing]

@Phoenix616 Highlighting is not easy to trigger.

[RacerDelux]

Looks like it does not work in .vue files.

[TheBestPessimist]

There's 1 thing which could be improved for this feature: when the cursor is over a bracket (and the bracket and its pair are highlighted), the corresonding indent guide should also be highlighted.

wdyt about this?

[JJCUBER]

I have this enabled, however it is not working in any of my file types (including .cs). Rainbow Brackets also isn't working as a whole for .shader files for me. Could someone please inform me on how to solve these issues? I am on the latest version of Rider currently.
