You might use different color to highlight LineNr. For example:

:hi LineNr   cterm=bold ctermbg=gray ctermfg=black gui=bold guibg=gray guifg=white

I don't think that's possible.

However, you can make the gutter wider.

:set numberwidth=3

this works for adding gutter to the left of the numbers, but not to the right. is there a way to do that? – tam5 Nov 15 '17 at 14:10
