Arduino 2.0.3 IDE vertical bars

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Just getting started with IDE 2.0.3 (coming from 1.8). Most of the new stuff is nice, but I dislike the vertical bars which represent the TAB stops on a text line. I like them to keep track of opening and matching closing brackets, matching #if/#endif, but not on all other tabs.
Is there a way to configure this? Or to turn it off alltogether?
PS: I'm using the Theia high contrast theme. The standard Arduino dark theme has the same issue, but the vertical lines are less prominent.

I only know how to turn all the indent guides on/off.

  1. Open the "Command Palette" via the Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) keyboard shortcut.
  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command.
  3. A "Preferences" tab will now open in the Arduino IDE main panel. In the "Search Settings" field, type editor.guides.indentation
  4. Uncheck the checkbox next to the "☑ Controls whether the editor should render indent guides." setting to turn them off.
  5. Click the X icon on the "Preferences" tab.

Edit: Just checked the High Contrast (Theia) theme and I agree the indent guide lines are an absolute eye sore. I use a dark theme (my own modded one) and it is very acceptable (and useful).

Thanks. This does the trick.
