Show White Spaces - Linefeed character

Post by cmhamm »

Product, version and build: 5.4.145
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64-Bit
Operating system: Windows 10
32 or 64 bit OS: 64-Bit

I am finding the product very good overall, but I'm curious - is there a way to eliminate the bright white ¶ character when showing white spaces? I'm using the dark theme, and I really like the way spaces and tabs are implemented; it makes things like spotting an extra space, or highlighting tabbed indents vs. spaces much easier. However, I can't be the only one who finds the bright ¶ character difficult to parse visually for line endings. Ideally, it would be great if the CR/LF character could be in the same lighter font/color as the tabs and white spaces, and could perhaps be a different character, for instance, ¬,⌐,«,etc. However, I am not a fan of the bright white ¶.

Thanks in advance!

Could you upload a screen shot of what you are seeing when you have PSS in the dark theme? Im having trouble replicating the Paragraph character.

Here's what I see:

I'm using the Consolas font and the dark theme. (I've tried numerous other font settings, and all of them have the same behavior.) When I remove the "Show white spaces" option in the Editor page, I see this:

Clearly, it's a lot cleaner looking, but I sorely miss the spaces and tab markings.

Is there some setting on my system that is causing incorrect behavior?

The Paragraph character is being displayed correctly in this instance, I will make a feature request to address changing the paragraph character's color to the user's choice. Until then it is possible to change the paragraph characters color, however you will also be changing other characters colors too.
