Practical to remove "white" areas between marked data on adjacent lines?

[Alan Kilborn]

Is it practical to remove “white” areas between marked data on adjacent lines?

Example: I’d like the red coloring to “flow together” without a white gap, line-to-line in the following:

I’ve experimented with Scintilla’s SCI_SETEXTRAASCENT and SCI_SETEXTRADESCENT, but they don’t seem to be the right things for this desire…

@alan-kilborn

Are you using markers or indicators?

@nick-brown

Sorry must be indicators, I just looked again.

I’d recommend setting the indicator type to INDIC_FULLBOX and also adjusting the outline alpha to match the current alpha for the foreground.

Yes, I’m not doing anything special to achieve it, just Mark of test as provided by N++'s Find dialog Mark operation.

Have you seen SCI_INDICSETSTYLE, and use INDIC_FULLBOX

@dail nailed it, and @Nick-Brown was very close (but slightly incomplete). Thanks, both of you.

If I do this in PythonScript:

editor.indicSetStyle(31, 16)
editor.indicSetOutlineAlpha(31, editor.indicGetAlpha(31))

Then I get the effect I’m after:

Note that 31 is the indicator number for red-marking, and 16 is the value for INDIC_FULLBOX.
