Unruley VSCode Extension

Unruley is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to easily see where lines are exceeding a given maximum line length.

Features

  • Set a custom color.
  • Set a custom opacity, or use the default of 0.1.
  • Define a maximum line length for your code (or use one that's already been set).

The background color is automatically applied to lines that exceed the maximum line length, providing a helpful visual cue.
