rockscroll or metalscroll for vis 2010

Has any one found a replacement for rockscroll or metalscroll for visual studio 2010?

I miss it so much that i looked into making one my self but only have word highlighting working and a place holder scroll bar and seems to be much harder than i thought it would be. Im happy to share what i got if someone is interested in helping.

David Pugh released a version of his Structure Margin, which serves a similar purpose. His All Margins extension combines a bunch of the other smaller extensions in the same vein.

It's not exactly the same, but I find the structure margin to be an interesting way to visualize the entire code file.

The code is also available for the OverviewMargin - I haven't tried it at all, but it may be a good place to start from if you want to roll your own.

The code doesn't compile for overview margin. :(

@Lodle, oh, cool! Sorry 'bout that. I've just installed StructureMargin, it's ok, but what I really miss is being able to see all instances of the highlighted text in the margin... I'll have a look-see.

@Lodle, think I'll ask a question here to see if anyone has managed to make it build. (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2688825/has-anyone-got-overviewmargin-to-compile-with-vs2010-rtm)

@Benjol Yeah that is exactly what i miss. :(

I haven't tried it myself yet but AllMargins looks really nice. Whoops you already linked it Noah Richards. Sorry.
