Are indent lines + background colors possible?

apology

Apologies, and please forgive me if this is already explained somewhere I missed.

I read through the entire :help ibl, and tried to find similar issues/examples, but couldn't find my exact request.

Currently have

So — I've managed my setup to be almost exactly how I like it:

(this is an extreme example of indentation)

Desired result → 1

The only thing it's missing are the background colors of the indentation level. I discovered how you can can do it, but it seems to be mutually exclusive with indentation guides (because of setting highlight of indent & whitespace) which then stops the lines from working.

Is there a way to do both? It's okay if not, I was just trying to replicate my VSCode setup, since I really liked that one.

Desired result → 2 (Found the solution ✅ )

An alternative I would be interested in would be to dim the indent lines, that are out of scope. Kind of like this:

Edit: got it working!

solution:

config = function()
	local highlightLines = {
		'RainbowRed',
		-- ... and so on for the other colors
	}
	local highlightDimLines = {
		'RainbowDimRed',
		-- ... and so on for the other colors
	}
	local hooks = require 'ibl.hooks'

	hooks.register(hooks.type.HIGHLIGHT_SETUP, function()
		vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'RainbowRed', { fg = felixai.red400 })
		-- ... and so on for the other colors
	end)

	vim.g.rainbow_delimiters = { highlight = highlightLines }

	require('ibl').setup { 
		indent = {
			highlight = highlightDimLines,
			char = '┊',
			tab_char = '┊',
		},
		scope = {
			highlight = highlightLines,
			char = '▎',
		}
	}
end,

I will update this issue and close when I figure out how to do these things.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for
