VSCode JavaScript syntax highlighting

Time:06-07

I've recently returned to using VSCode after a long break. It seems that after updating, the syntax highlighting colours have changed to this:

after

From this:

before

Does anybody know how to achieve the look in the second image? I really can't stand the inconsistent brace colouring. If this isn't a change made in updates and I'm doing something wrong, please let me know

CodePudding user response:

It appears you want to disable the bracket pairs colorization.

Here's a blog post from the VSCode team, talking about this new highlighting feature introduced recently : https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/09/29/bracket-pair-colorization

To do so, set the following settings to false :

"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": false,
"editor.guides.bracketPairs": false,
