Increase the size of the dots representing whitespaces

Answered

Hi All,

I like to show whitespaces in my code. For this, I used:

`Editor > General > Apperance` : `Show whitespaces` # to show the whitepsaces
`Editor > Color Scheme > General` : `Text > Whitespaces` # to change the dots' color.

However, it is still difficult to see the dots which represent the whitespaces. Is there any option to increase the size of the dots. I think it might be the follwoing line in `EditorPainter.java`:

 final int whiteSpaceStrokeWidth = JBUI.scale(1);

But I want to avoid compiling the project from source, is there any easier fix?

Many thanks.

looks like (in pycharm) you can modify the font type and remove the “foreground” flag

 

this greatly increases visibility:
