a strange green line at my left margin in gnus

a strange green line at my left margin in gnus

Hi

I attach a screenshot, but since yesterday evening all my message
buffers have a green vertical line at the left margin. I don't recall
having changed anything in my gnus setting.

Any idea?

That looks like the fringe.  Do other buffers show this as well?  Check
the fringe face maybe?

The issue might arise from the combination of multiple themes. Could you
kindly try using "M-x disable-theme" to deactivate each theme one at a
time? After that, you can apply your preferred theme with "M-x
load-theme" followed by the theme's name.

I have to admit but I even don't know what that is supposed to be.
But I run fringe-mode and then selected all. And it is gone. Thanks. 
I learned there exists something whose existence I did not know and
whose functionality I also don't gasp.

Thanks

It seems that calling fringe mode and disabling everything did the trick
(I can't remember to have activated or used it)

Thanks

the fringe is a region to the left and right of the buffer text that is
used to indicate things like start and end of file, lines that wrap, and
other miscellaneous things (such as marks in evil-mode).  Gnus uses
these in the summary window to show you which is the current article.
Can be quite useful (it is for me, in any case).

Probably best to customise the face and make it simply inherit from the
default face instead of removing it completely.

Thanks, I tried that but I failed to find out which variable I need to customise.

M-x customize-face RET fringe RET

should allow you to change the fringe face.  However, if you are using
themes, this won't override whatever they define for the fringe face.
