What is the setting in Notepad++ for changing the outline color? In the attached image I want to change the vertical red line to a different color. Thank you!

enter image description here

This is the theme file that I'm trying to adjust. That red color is the standard #ff0000, which isn't in the XML template. https://github.com/SeanCline/Npp-VS2012-Dark

  • How did you install the theme? I can't find the theme folder, and when I import it from NP++ , it doesn't appear. – bool3max Oct 21 '15 at 15:32
  • @aCodingN00b, Copy the theme file to your %PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\themes (or for 64 bit the %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Notepad++\themes) directory. Then open Notepad++ and select Settings > Style Configurator > Language HTML, and in the "Select theme" dropdown choose "VS2012-Dark". Then select the "Save & Close" button. – Ken Palmer Oct 21 '15 at 15:43
  • I don't see the themes/ folder in my Notepad++ directory. – bool3max Oct 21 '15 at 15:49
  • It was int the AppData/Roaming/Notepad++ folder. – bool3max Oct 21 '15 at 16:00

That's the foreground color of Global Styles > Fold. What you are referring to is a code folding section.

  • Hmm, -1 for taking 2 minutes to answer this. – TylerH Oct 21 '15 at 14:38
  • Thanks @BoltClock. That's close, but didn't get the vertical line. I changed Global Styles > Fold > Foreground Color, and that just impacted a small horizontal line that extends off the vertical line. And Fold > Background colour just gets the [+] [-] boxes. – Ken Palmer Oct 21 '15 at 15:11

    @Ken Palmer: Ahhh, I see what you mean. You're specifically talking about the fold that's highlighted wherever the current line of code is. Turns out there's a "Fold active" option which for some reason isn't present in the majority of the default Notepad++ styles. Probably a new feature. I wonder if you have to add it into the style XML file manually. – BoltClock Oct 21 '15 at 15:18
  • Okay, well that puts me on the right track then. We just extracted that color, and it's plain old #ff0000, which doesn't show up in my XML theme file. I'll put a link to that file in the OP for reference. – Ken Palmer Oct 21 '15 at 15:23
