Sublime Bracket Highlighter not coloring brackets

Question

For me Bracket Highlighter plugin is not coloring and highlighting brackets but just underlining them in white.

Here is a snapshot:

Anyone knows of a solution?

Answer 1

I have modified my example based upon the comments of AGS - it now includes a couple of highlight options and the rest are outline. Thank you AGS and thank you to the original poster for creating this useful thread.

Answer 2

Edit your ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/BracketHighlighter/bh_core.sublime-settings

And set "style" to "highlight" for each bracket type you want highlighted. Here is an example for curly brackets.

 // User defined region styles
 "curly": {
     "icon": "curly_bracket",
     "color": "entity.name.class",
     "style": "highlight"
 }

Restart Sublime.

I just spent 20 mins hunting and trying all the above etc. Finally found a comment elsewhere suggesting a restart; which fixed it and gave me a brief moment long enough to slap myself hard while it reloaded.
