Visual Studio is a heavyweight IDE used by a vast number of C/C++/C# developers. If you are one of them, this extension may come in handy for you too.

Without plugins such as Visual Assist X, configuring syntax coloring for the editor can be quite tedious. In Visual Studio 2026, this problem has become even more serious: if you switch themes, your coloring configuration is reset straight back to the defaults. In addition, Visual Studio’s bracket pair highlighting still has some rough edges. These are the problems Quick Coloring sets out to solve:

• 🃏 Configure your editor’s syntax highlighting extremely quickly, with changes taking effect instantly. No waiting or restart required!

  Better yet, the color scheme is fully based on Visual Studio’s own Fonts and Colors settings, so it integrates seamlessly

• 🔨 Enhance Visual Studio’s built-in bracket pair highlighting so that the character immediately before the editor caret can also trigger bracket pair highlighting.

  Try it, and you will find the experience noticeably more intuitive and aligned with what you expect

• 📒 Support file-based saving and loading of configurations, making it easy to reuse and share your coloring setup!

• 🎁 Completely free and very lightweight. It absolutely will not consume your valuable system resources.
