Removed the indent guide on the first column #5

Since the gutter effectively acts as the first indentation guide at position zero I made the extension starts drawing the guides after the first indentation. Makes it look a bit cleaner without losing clarity.

Yeah, I like it. Cleaner, more elegant. Definitely appeals to my minimalist sensibilities :).

Would it be possible to make this an option up to the user? I personally prefer indent guides in the first column (Sublime Text fan), and would love to have them back.

@athyuttamre, probably the easiest way is just to manually remove the :not(:first-child) string from the css file (see the files change).

If not, do you have an idea as to how this option work would work? Are you talking about an extra menu item or a dialog box or what?

Follow up. A Brackets extension developer has created some reusable code to add extension preferences at:

https://github.com/artoale/brackets-settings

As an alternative, there is a Trello card outlining a plan for User Preferences for the core Brackets code:

https://trello.com/c/kqFFDqhR/523-3-infrastructure-for-project-file-scoped-preferences

The research story associated with the card discusses adding a mechanism for extension preferences as well.

If the first solution is not too much work, I will see if I can implement this request in some preferences. Otherwise, I will wait until preferences support is written into Brackets core.

In the mean time, as I stated above, you can always find the extension in the extensions folder and make a change to the CSS file.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I think we can wait until Brackets has preferences support built right in -- until then, editing the CSS should work for me.
