Description Miloslav Metelka 2013-02-05 13:33:38 UTC 
There could be an extra Tab "Whitespace" in Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors with a listbox on the left with three items:

Indentation Whitespace
Trailing Whitespace
Newline

On the right there would be a checkbox whether particular highlight is applied or not and a highlight configuration like under "Syntax" tab.
 However I somewhat resist to put this under Syntax tab since it's not related to syntax of the language and it would not be turnable on/off. Highlighting tab does not offer font (or effects) change which could be beneficial here since it would be applied to the font of non-visible chars display.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2013-05-15 14:31:36 UTC 
Current solution are items in Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->Highlighting tab:

Indentation Whitespace
Trailing Whitespace

When assigning background colors to them the indentation/trailing whitespace will start to be shown.
