Making the brackets bold would be good too.

Hello! Make more user-settings about brackets and cursor, for example:

editor.bracketMatchingStyle: rectangle|block|underline editor.bracketMatchingColor: #rgb editor.cursorColor: #rgb

I found some .css about brackets in source, and I hope it is not difficult make brackets more customizable.
