Vscode-gitlens: Disable diff in scrollbar

Created on 24 Mar 2019 · 5Comments · Source: eamodio/vscode-gitlens

Hi,

I tried to hide the diff in scrollbar using these (obviously wrong):

  "gitlens.recentChanges.highlight.locations": ["gutter"],
  "gitlens.blame.highlight.locations": ["gutter"],

I can view the diff on the left side, in the gutter. On the ride side in scrollbar want to hide it as it is really difficult to see anything else there. For example when I search: https://prnt.sc/n25tgl or select something: http://prntscr.com/n25smp

I would be greatful for help. Could not google it or find in the readme (or misunderstood).
Thanks.

not bug

@krsiakdaniel sorry for any confusion, but GitLens doesn't provide the feature (UI) you referenced. It is provided by vscode itself. The setting you are looking is "scm.diffDecorations" and it can be set all, overview (the scrollbar), gutter, and none.

Hope that helps!

Hi, @eamodio , I tried setting scm.diffDecorations to none in the settings to remove highlighted area, but it didn't work:

Should I reopen the ticket, or I'm doing something unsupported / wrong?

/cheers & thanks!

@dodalovic Those decorations aren't from GitLens. But they also aren't Git decorations at all -- those are just the default decorations for added/changed/removed lines when you are in the diff editor. I would suggest you open an issue with VS Code if you want a way to disable that behavior.

I found this in this stackoverflow link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43969277/how-can-you-disable-gutter-indicators-in-vs-code

this is the solution, paste this in your settings.json file:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
// Gutter indicators (left)
"editorGutter.modifiedBackground": "#0000",
"editorGutter.addedBackground": "#0000",
"editorGutter.deletedBackground": "#0000",
// Scrollbar indicators (right)
"editorOverviewRuler.addedForeground": "#0000",
"editorOverviewRuler.modifiedForeground": "#0000",
"editorOverviewRuler.deletedForeground": "#0000"
}
