FAQ

How to Customize Indent Colors?

First, you have to decide how many colors you want to use for indents.

Say, if you want to use 6 colors, add the following into plugin's level_colors setting.

"level_colors": [
    "region.indent.0",
    "region.indent.1",
    "region.indent.2",
    "region.indent.3",
    "region.indent.4",
    "region.indent.5",
],

These region.indent.0 … region.indent.5 are called scopes in Sublime Text. Names of scope aren't important but I just feel these names are self-explanatory.

Next, you have to add coloring rules into your color scheme for those scopes. For example, adding the following rules into your color scheme.

foreground is the indent line color when level_style is set to line.
background is the indent background color when level_style is set to block.

Valid color formats are listed on Sublime Text's official document.

    "background": "rgba(229, 57, 53, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.0",
},
{
    // green
    "foreground": "rgba(67, 160, 71, 0.35)",
    "background": "rgba(67, 160, 71, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.1",
},
{
    // blue
    "foreground": "rgba(30, 136, 229, 0.35)",
    "background": "rgba(30, 136, 229, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.2",
},
{
    // orange
    "foreground": "rgba(251, 140, 0, 0.35)",
    "background": "rgba(251, 140, 0, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.3",
},
{
    // purple
    "foreground": "rgba(142, 36, 170, 0.35)",
    "background": "rgba(142, 36, 170, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.4",
},
{
    // cyan
    "foreground": "rgba(0, 172, 193, 0.35)",
    "background": "rgba(0, 172, 193, 0.2)",
    "scope": "region.indent.5",
},

How to Disable Rendering by Default and Enable Manually?

You can set the enabled_selector plugin setting to "nothing". Because no scope is named nothing, this plugin won't render indents.

Then, you can enable rendering manually by one of the following ways.

From the command palette: RainbowIndent: Disable for This View (Forced)
From the context menu: RainbowIndent » Disable for This View (Forced)
Create and trigger a keybinding for the rainbow_indent_view_toggle command for convenience.

Known Issues

There is no way to draw a region, where is no character, via ST's plugin APIs.
