* This will allow one or more vertical edges to be displayed while editing your file, to help with line lengths or positioning text. This edge indicator can either be a vertical line, or a background shading beyond the edge. The colour of the line or background shading will be taken from **Settings > Style Configurator > Global Styles > Edge Color: Forground colour**.

* Multiple Vertical Edges: There is one box, which accepts zero or more numbers (as of v7.8.6):

* If the box is empty, there are no vertical edges.

* If there is one number ℕ in the box, there will be one vertical edge, after the column for the ℕth character.

* If there is more than one number (separated by whitespace), then there will be a vertical edge at each of the given character columns.

* `☐ Background mode`: the vertical edge is usually a vertical line; if this option is enabled, the vertical edge will be indicated by styling the _background_ of the text to the right of the edge.

* Single Vertical Edge: in older versions of Notepad++, there was only a single vertical edge available, with more toggled options (v7.8.5 and earlier):

* **Border Width**

* [number-slider]: sets the width (in pixels) of the border around each view's text editor; technically, it's the gap between the light and dark portions of the sunken border, so a width of 0 will still have the light and dark lines for the sunken edge

* `☐ No edge`: will remove the entire border, including the light and dark bars, so it no longer appears sunken
