Highlighting brackets with different colours in notebook cells

Hi,

 

It might sound stupid, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

 

When a notebook is booting up, I can see brackets being marked with different colours. After the notebook loads, it disappears. I still get syntax highlighting (e.g. missing brackets), but sometimes it would be useful to have the coloured bracket pairs as an active feature.

 

I am aware of code formatting styling, but I would really like to retain the coluored brackets 🙂

Thank you Xiaoxin,

 

This pertain to code formatting for spaces, newlines and such. If I understand correctly, there is no way to highlight the brackets through the whole notebook experience?

I can submit an idea and see what the administrators will say.

HI @Ostrzak,

For the IDE style, current you can't directly modify them. You can use package that I mention to load external style from these extensions.(If you familiar with script and extensions, you can also try to manually create a style extension with custom styles)
If current extension not suitable for your requirement, you can try to submit an idea for provide the properties/interfaces to custom the notebook IDE-style.
