So I downloaded the latest build hoping to have the background coloring on matching {} and (), but instead, all my matching {} and () are noe black, even though I specify the red color.
And I see no place to specify the background color at all. |

How about having a "more settings" button on the VA dialog that will pop up the VS one (and navigate to the relevant settings)?
You can make it dependent on the product version.

It is a compromise solution. Remember that you can only set the foreground colour in VC6, there is no support for changing the background colour in this IDE.
If we move everything into the IDE options then this causes problems for VC6, plus people will not know to look for VA options in the IDE colour list. This problem already happens.
Making the VA options dialog more complex and duplicating more functionality does not seem ideal either.
As it stands use the VA dialog for simple settings, and the IDE dialog for more "complex" settings. |

It is confusing to have these options in two places.
In particular being able to specify both FG and BG colours in the VS dialog and only the (same) FG colour in VAX dialog.

I'm having the issue under vs 2005 where the matching brace foreground color is always black, no matter what color I select in the VA options dialog |

We're not sure of the circumstances, but for some users the VA entries are not appearing in the IDE options dialogs (not sure why it affects some users and not others). We have a fix for this and it will be in the general release (which will not be 1721). |

Sasa,
Foreground color of brace matching should still be available in the VA Options dialog. Control coloring for other items via the IDE's Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors property page. You should see entries of the form "VA X ...". If you don't, use this procedure to restore the VA X entries:
Exit all instances of VS2008
Delete this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ VisualStudio \\ 9.0 \\ FontAndColors \\ Cache \Restart Visual Studio
For users running VS2005, replace 9.0 with 8.0. |
