Use this settings page to hide or show  icons in the gutter.

Note that technology-related icons are displayed only if the corresponding plugin is installed and enabled. For more information about installing plugins, refer to [Plugins](managing-plugins.html).

To display or hide an icon in the gutter, select or clear the checkbox next to it. If you want to disable all gutter icons, clear the Show gutter icons checkbox above the list of available icons.
