HTML Tag highlighting

Any solution to change automatic highlighting background color of selected (open and close) HTML-Tags? main.less doesn't work for me. If I change default settings of cm-brackets Class. In default is no contrast and it's too bad to read my own code.

Mac OS X Sierra, Dreamweaver latest version 2017.

    We would work on improving the contrast for this going forward, however this can be customized by defining the selector CodeMirror-matchingtag

    Please paste the following towards the end of the main.less file and after applying you can customize the color as appropriate. 

    .CodeMirror-matchingtag {

    background: #8e8e8e;

    }

    Which theme are you using?

    I use a Brackets Theme from GitHub.  So my code is different than the basic themes in DW.

    See Reply #2 in this thread.

    Ok. I got it. But actually i dont wanna change any color. Sound confused, but if I select an HTML Tag, DW will select also the End-Tag. The font-color will be changed in #fff and the background-color (only inline - TAG). See my screenshot.

    I want to change the color of the selectet tag (font) OR the background-color. Can you see the lower contrast? I'ts horrorable!

    Thanks.
