Config brackets colors

If you want to config the color, edit your config file and restart your IDE(APP_CONFIG/rainbow_brackets.xml), In my env(MAC os) is /Users/izhangzhihao/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.1/options/rainbow_brackets.xml:

<option name="lightRoundBracketsColors">
   <array>
      <option value="0xE6B422" />
      <option value="0x43A047" />
      <option value="0x2196F3" />
      <option value="0x3F51B5" />
      <option value="0x00897B" />
   </array>
</option>

If you prefer using light theme, here is a example from @Avinash-Bhat gray config using Material Deisgn Color Tool, it works greate with light themed bg (basically white) but dark theme is not so good.

NOTE: The lightXXX and the darkXXX should be the same size!

var lightRoundBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0xE66A01",
        "0x1B5E20",
        "0x006BE7",
        "0x283593",
        "0x004D40"
)

var darkRoundBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0xE6B422",
        "0x43A047",
        "0x2196F3",
        "0x3F51B5",
        "0x00897B"
)

var lightSquareBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0x0B9087",
        "0x827717",
        "0x6444E6"
)

var darkSquareBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0x33CCFF",
        "0xD4E157",
        "0x8080FF"
)

var lightSquigglyBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0x0057D2",
        "0x558B2F",
        "0xFF6D27"
)

var darkSquigglyBracketsColors = arrayOf(
        "0x1976D2",
        "0x8BC34A",
        "0xFF9863"
)

var lightAngleBracketsColor = lightRoundBracketsColors
var darkAngleBracketsColor = darkRoundBracketsColors

HTML code in js

To enable rainbow brackets for HTML in js code like this:

var html = '<div><div><div>Hello</div></div></div>';

This plugin will automatically override color scheme "HTML_CODE" cause our rainbow color been covered by intellij built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyHTMLInsideJS" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.

Kotlin function literal braces and arrow

To enable rainbow brackets for multiple level lambda Kotlin code like this:

event.throwable?.let { throwable ->
    IdeErrorsDialog.findPluginId(throwable)?.let { pluginId ->
        PluginManager.getPlugin(pluginId)?.let { ideaPluginDescriptor ->
            if (!ideaPluginDescriptor.isBundled) {
                bean.pluginName = ideaPluginDescriptor.name
                bean.pluginVersion = ideaPluginDescriptor.version
            }
        }
    }
}

This plugin will automatically override color scheme "KOTLIN_FUNCTION_LITERAL_BRACES_AND_ARROW" cause our rainbow color been covered by kotlin plugin built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyKotlinFunctionLiteralBracesAndArrow" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.
