Version 0.7.4 of package Indent-Bars has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Indent-Bars describes itself as: =============================== Highlight indentation with bars =============================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/indent-bars.html ## Summary: indent-bars highlights indentation with configurable vertical graphical bars, using stipples. The color and appearance (weight, pattern, position within the character, zigzag, etc.) are all configurable. Options include depth-varying colors and highlighting the indentation depth of the current line. Bars span blank lines, by default. indent-bars works in any mode using fixed tab or space-based indentation. In the terminal (or on request) it uses vertical bar characters instead of stipple patterns. Optional treesitter support is also available; see indent-bars-ts.el.
