IndentRainbow

Summary

The aim of this extension is to make it easier to differentiate different levels of indentation in your source code. This is done by coloring the indentations in the source code editor.

Customization

The following things can be customized to fit your needs:

• The colors and the number of spaces used for detection of indent levels can be customized.
• The detection of wrong/faulty indentation can be turned on/off, and the color used for highlighting wrong indentation can be customized.
• Different indent levels for different file extensions can be specified.
• The highlighting mode: Either alternate between the colors with every indent or color the whole indent block in the same color (see screenshots below)
• Show colors either as solid "blocks" or have each color be a gradient overlapping with the colors before and after it.

Note that the colors must be entered as hexadecimal ARGB values, while invalid values will be ignored. After changing the options you may need to reopen the documents that are currently open in Visual Studio.
