I have suggested many ideas about code fold GUI indicators that basically give 
user visually indications of all the lines of code within the code fold, based 
on when caret/cursor is currently within that expanded code fold.
None of these suggestions have really generated any interest in being added to 
the program by developers, so I was wondering if anyone had any tricks to share 
about this.

To me some files that contain a great deal of code / code folds can be visually 
confusing.
For example, I find that many programs use `xml` files that can require some 
editing.
These files typically have many levels within a main level that includes the 
entire file.
Therefore, code folds appear as one long line from top to bottom of document 
without visual breaks between the code fold boxes.
Can be visually fatiguing especially when you also have levels within levels 
within levels of folds, can be hard to know where you are within these levels.

If these suggestions I have made are not of interest to be added to Geany, I 
was wondering if anyone had any techniques to share to make code folds stand 
out more easily visually, especially when caret/cursor is currently within a 
code fold.

I have to play more with themes, but themes seem to be the only real thing I 
can think of, but really they are basically going to just change the color for 
all the code folds, they are still probably not going to stand out.

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas / knows of any settings to try / know of any 
plugins / etc. to try, please share.
Thank You
