Disable Background Color

[BenQuinlan]

Is it possible to disable the background highlight colour, so just the text is coloured?

As a workaround, you can achieve this by using the rgba colors. It has four inputs where the last one is the alpha value:

"backgroundColor": rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)

The first three inputs will not matter if the forth is set to 0.

I've now forked this extension into https://github.com/jgclark/vscode-todo-highlight, and made available on the Marketplace. It includes better documentation -- including a note about this -- more examples, update for remote development, addition of regex per highlight etc.

You'll need to uninstall this extension and then install the new one from the marketplace, TODO Highlight v1.2.0.
