whitespace

Is there a way to modify the whitespace representation characters so I can change it from dots and dashes to something else?

Because I currently have whitespace characters being drawn always, it looks like this. I don't need it turned off, just interested in changing how it's represented.

I like how TextMate shows invisible characters but I would be ok with just being able to change the spaces to show a blank space instead of a dot.

I've been trying to construct a ruby regex which matches trailing spaces - but not indentation placeholders - so I can gsub them out.
