Idea: how can I hide the VCS changes markers in the right margin

I'm trying to hide the marker stripes in the right margin of intellij idea.

I tried whith:

settings -> Editor -> Colors and Fonts -> General

but it is not possible to check/uncheck "Error stripe Mark" in "Added lines" or "Modified lines".

I also tried to put white colors in "stripe mark color" in

settings -> Editor -> Colors and Fonts -> Diff

but the stripe is still present.

Do you know if it's possible to manage that without removing VCS support for the project?

Solution 1:

There is now a setting as of IntelliJ IDEA 15 142.3728 (released as EAP in August 2015).

In preferences, go to Editor -> General and untick Highlight modified lines in gutter.

I use version 12.1.4

Easiest way I've found is by right-clicking on the marker at the top of the margin.

Click "Customize Highlighting level" and bring the slider down "syntax".

IntelliJ 14.

In dark theme, the change marker at right margin is very eye-distracting. The real problem is we can not close it.

Go to Editor -> Colors and Fonts -> General and find:

Change to color you like.
