Visual studio change curly brace style(highlight braces background) and display it on new line

When you click in front of the braces(brackets), Visual Studio will automatically add a background to them to identify a pair of brackets, so that we can identify the scope of code. However, the default background color of Visual Studio braces is usually lighter(especially for highlight monitors), and there is no background color at all, which requires a darker color.

In terms of the background color of brackets in Visual Studio, it refers to all brackets(curly brackets {}, brackets (), square brackets []) as bracket matching(Rectangle), as long as the background color of square brackets(or Brace Matching) is set, the background color of all brackets is set, see the setting method below.
