Hi, I could not get your idea exactly, what do you mean exactly about "Be able to fully choose "Color Scheme" for variables colors", now users could define up to 10 colors like this:

[thenajjar]

Correct, but these only work for brackets, and not "variables" colors. Can you add one more section here in this same screen where we can choose colors for "variables" colors?

[izhangzhihao]

hi, rainbow variables colors could be configured here:

And, BTW, you can only config 5 colors, but the IDE will generate 20 colors from the 5 colors.

[thenajjar]

Oh I see, but can't you override this and add a section to customize the variables colors like you done for brackets?

That sounds not a bad idea, I can try to create a soft link jump to this page or overwrite it with the rainbow brackets' setting page. I will sleep on it.

@izhangzhihao Please consider adding separate color options for indent guides as well.
I like rainbow colors for brackets, but I would prefer to keep indent guides in a single color (I can turn it off, but then I lose the indent guides highlight).

[izhangzhihao]

hi, both, I added two new options for you:

please have a try for this build snapshot

[ivanalmasi]

@izhangzhihao Thanks! Any chance you can build it for this version as well:

I can install an older version, but only later today.
Not going to work as my settings is not synced any more due to using new settings sync feature.

[ivanalmasi]

Thanks! If I turn off "Rainbow highlighting" for "Indent Guides Line" in "Color scheme", they are still colored. Should I set custom monochrome color there instead?

[izhangzhihao]

hi, this setting page is for custom indent guide color, if you want single color for all indent guides, please enable it and set all colors to one same color

[ivanalmasi]

Got it. It works like that. Only downside is that it needs to be done for each color scheme, but it's not switched very often.
