Some questions about the rainbow options

[BabakAmini]

Thanks for the great plugin. I just started to use the trial version today. Some features are working and some are not. Here is a brief summary of what I have experienced:

• All rainbow features are working in a .py file except for indent guides

• In .js and .jsx files, indent guides are as expected but empty tags remain gray. Also, angel brackets are rainbowified as expected but the element name inside the brackets has the default theme color

• In .html files no rainbow colors except for angel brackets

Could you turn on these two options?

For the .jsx files, empty tags didn't have any indent guide lines, so it won't ranibowify any indent guide lines.

[BabakAmini]

I enabled those options. Now Python and HTML files are rendering as expected, however, I wish to have rainbow indent guides without Python keywords.

For .js files, I didn't select the Do NOT rainbowify brackets without content option and was expecting to have them as a non-gray color.

Also, I noticed that all the indent guides for all file types are dimmed now without me making any changes in my editor's configurations (consider comparing bellow screenshot with the third picture in my original post):

I'm also wondering what the option Cycle count on all brackets does.

• have rainbow indent guides without Python keywords? that's something I could try later.
• all the indent guides for all file types are dimmed? yes, indent guidelines will be highlighted only when you click it.
• Cycle count on all brackets? take a look here: Cycle color on all bracket types #391

[BabakAmini]

I selected that option before but now "Only selected indent guide" option is selected. Maybe this happened when I disabled and re-enabled my plugins to investigate a bug in my editor. By the way, changing it resolved that issue for now however only part of the lines are painting now:

If you hover the mouse outside the editor or switch to another window the lines fully render. Then if you click on another place in the file this is what happens:

Thanks for point this out, this is a known issue: #2540

[izhangzhihao]

BTW, the latest release (just uploaded to JB marketplace) supports rainbow indent guidelines with-out highlight keywords now!

You may need 1 or 2 days to receive this update.

[BabakAmini]

I've updated to the latest version, and that option works for me, but I have a new issue.

Every time I restart my IDE, the "indent guide highlight option" changes back to "Only selected indent guide" and I have to set it back to the latest option in the list again. However, I think this is not related to the new update, and it was happening in the previous release too. Also, sometimes the license activation dialog box displays after IDE restarts and then the color generator for variables stops working even if it's checked in the settings. I have to uncheck and check it again and restart the IDE one more time to get them to work (if that dialog box doesn't display again).
