Color margins in VIM

Question

Does anybody know how I can get diff's color margins in VIM (if it is possible)? I mean something like this: (e.g., in NetBeans: Netbeans color margins). It was very useful when I was working with NetBeans, maybe somebody wrote such useful plugin for VIM?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but you can hide one window in vimdiff and the diff colours will remain active. Use 'vim -d file1 file2' and then :hide.

Answer 2

AFAIK, this isn't something natively supported in Vim. There is the diffchanges plugin, which might be useful.
