custom visual studio 2013 theme

Question

I installed Visual Studio 2013, set it to dark theme, and imported settings for son of obsidian style. And now it looks like this:

What I am trying to achieve is to get rid of the annoying white bar, which has been dark before the son of obsidian settings was imported.

Do you know where in the setting can I set the color of this bar?

Answer 1

I believe what you are looking for is the TextEditor - Indicator Margin BackGround The default color in VS2012 is FF333333 if you look in the Son of Obsidian Settings you will find that it is set to:

<Item Name="Indicator Margin" Foreground="0x02000000" Background="0x00F0F0F0" BoldFont="No"/> 

Which is a gray with its alpha channel set to 0, you could try editing the Settings file and importing it again, or you could just go to Tools --> Options --> Environment --> Fonts and Colors. Keep the Show settings on the Text Editor selected and go to Indicator Margin in the Display Items(fourth item down on my system).

You can then click the Custom button for the Item Background which will bring up a Color Selection Dialog and you should make it look like this, to put it back to the original settings.
