Feature request: Color error line with "red"

Open etosan opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

First thank you very much for this incredible thing!

One of very few IDEA plugins, which does not suck in integration with rest of the IDE and doesn't look like "programmer art" shit.

In #26 you said you don't want it to be language aware. I am okay with that. But messing both with IDEA Community, phpStorm and Clion demo, it seems IDEA application uses same API to mark erroring places.

It would be cool if CodeGlance could pull this info out of editor component and background those error lines with configurable(!) error color. Configurable because of themes, and I am not sure if themes/editor can expose their "Error stripe mark" setting (maybe they can).

Although built-in "linemap" already does this (colors line red), some single character errors like semicolons, parens and such (especially in closures) are still hard to spot.

I believe single "giant" "error line" background in CodeGlance would help when pinpointing place of error, and fixing errors would get much easier.

I would extend this request: color lines with the same colors as Intellij's scrollbar does.

This will also cover #22.

My use case is: I'm looking for changed lines in a file. Normally, I spend time examining marks on a scrollbar, or press Ctrl-D and edit directly in a diff viewer. Visible highlight of changed lines in CodeGlance would be much more visible. Plus, it would be easier to navigate warnings etc.

How does this look? I haven't been using IDEA for some time but I plan to use it more again and after 5 years I came to check state on this and I see no movement whatsoever. Last repo activity seems to be from 3 years ago.

Is this very good project effectively dead?
