Description

https://github.com/CoenraadS/Bracket-Pair-Colorizer-2: image

Native VSCode: image

"editorBracketPairGuide.backgroundX" / "editorBracketPairGuide.activeBackgroundX" change only guides color but not actual background color.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the implementation of bracket pair colorization in the VSCode codebase, focusing on how guides are rendered and how background coloring differs from guide coloring. Investigate the referenced extension Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 for its approach to background coloring. Then modify the relevant code to add a new setting for background color per bracket pair.
