Gutter width/line numbers?
Answered
I upgraded from 13 to 14.1 tonight, imported my old 13 settings and while I had no problems with that effort, the gutter is bothering me a bit. In 13.x the gutter wasn't nearly as wide and the line numbers were segregated by a dotted vertical line within the gutter. I think the gutter is wider because of these new inferred annotation @ signs. Is there a way to clean this back up and add the vertical dotted line back and disable those @ signs and maybe reclaim some width?
Here's an image of what I'm talking about:
Thanks!

There is no way to disable it. In previous versions gutter could become wide too when multiple icons were stacked there.

Go to View > Active Editor > Disable "Show Gutter Icon"
You can make this the default setting by going to Settings > Editor > General > Gutter Icon and unchecking the "Show Gutter Icon"
To make it permanent -
Right click on gutter > Configure gutter icons > Uncheck show gutter icons > Save
Really surprised how much screen real estate the numbers column is given:
I love how netbeans deals with this while keeping a trim line numbers column:
Is there any way after those years to make the gutter bar thinner e.g. by wrapping icons or letting icons to replace a number?
Now most of the gutter bar width is placeholder for something else.

The only way to make the gutter area narrower at the moment is to disable gutter icons altogether:

Oh my god thank you Arina Efremova ; I use a vertical monitor and the default 120 character line break is off my screen when the gutter icons are enabled because the file icon strip + gutter + line numbers + Python tab widths wastes so much space on the left. I wish I could just get minimal line numbers and nothing else - leave a notch out for the icons in the top left and bottom and use all that wasted precious space in the middle for line numbers:
