Hi Surya,

Can you share a screenshot of what is bothering you, to make it more obvious to me?

Hi Surya,

This seems not to hard to add as an option.
I have run a test by forcing the line numbers, resulting in something like this:

I guess, the colors depend on the GTK theme used by your desktop environment.

For my own reference, I used this function.
gtk_source_view_set_show_line_numbers (GtkSourceView *view, gboolean show);

If this is what you would like, would you mind to do me a favor and change this question into a Xpad bug report?

And then give me some time and I will implement this. :)
