[Feature Request] Option to ONLY disable inline information

[nwaywood]

I would like to just use the gutter icons AND the status bar message but disable the inline information.

I found these two issues, #59 and #15, but the solution suggested in both of those issues hides the status bar message as well as the inline information.

It would be great to be able to disable the inline information while still having the status bar messages

I've added 4 separate colors for status bar, so they no longer share invisibility. e4d86fb

• errorLens.statusBarErrorForeground
• errorLens.statusBarWarningForeground
• errorLens.statusBarInfoForeground
• errorLens.statusBarHintForeground

The latest change is quite useful in any case - but still - as this was requested multiple times...
@usernamehw Can you please reopen this issue and add a errorLens.inlineMessageEnabled setting (defaulting to "true", of course)?

[usernamehw]

Is that setting should include background color of the entire line or not?

Yes. if someone don't wants the color then there's already a setting to adjust that. The only setting missing is "enable diagnostic text shown inline".

Thanks for reopening and considering this.

"errorLens.messageEnabled": false,

[GitMensch]

To "finish" this issue: There is no "errorLens.messageEnabled" property available with old versions [see #52 about the outdated one on Open-VSX], but the following did the trick - and can also be set per type, which I see as superior (I just did not know of either the option nor the correct place to add it):

		"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
			"errorLens.errorForeground": "#fff0",
			"errorLens.warningForeground": "#fff0",
			"errorLens.infoForeground": "#fff0",
			"errorLens.hintForeground": "#fff0",
		},

--> leaves colored line (background color) and the gutter.

In my case the actual text was disabled because of #61 (looks like it will take a while for me to come back to this).

Note: After applying either the color settings or "errorLens.messageEnabled": false, the text can be seen by using the vscode standard hotkeys for next/previous problem [ALT]+([SHIFT])+[F8]. (and as always via hover, which is only hard if there is no column information because of microsoft/vscode#110561).
But the new option is better as the color hack mentioned above breaks "errorLens.statusBarMessageEnabled": true,. Hoping for the update on open-vsx...
