Consider making gutter and background the same color

[sandover]

Another subjective suggestion. Having the gutter a different color is distracting.

Thanks, I think we're going to keep the gutter the same way it is. You can modify the gutter color in your styles.less:

@import "syntax-colors";

.editor .gutter {
  background-color: @syntax-background-color;
}

@benogle I've just tried your suggestion, and it doesn't seem to be overriding the default colour.

Ah, it was an error with syntax-colors

For anyone else that finds this issue, the following works:

@import "syntax-variables";

.editor .gutter {
  background-color: @syntax-background-color;
}

Sorry about the disinformation! Names of things are hard to remember.

I don't know if things have changed since 2014 but I had to use:

@import "syntax-variables";

atom-text-editor::shadow .gutter {
  background-color: @syntax-background-color;
}
