Like I mentioned, the loss of time and productivity thanks to downgrading Dreamweaver's code coloring has been significant. I have to use DW 2017 to change code appearance to at least something acceptable. And as a cherry on top: editing LESS files doesn't even work in DW 2018 - I filed a bug for this. There's still no way to disable this tag highlighting - which, even when it preserves code coloring, is an annoying and unnecessary feature for many users. If you know of such method, please let us know - it will be greatly appreciated. There's no known way to change it for the dark color scheme like in my screenshot - and which I (and many other users) were using for years. There's indeed a method, suggested by another user, how to change tag highlighting color for some acceptable results - but only for the light color schemes. Thanks to implementation of Brackets in DW 2017, users lost some essential functionality and lost the ability to edit code coloring in human oriented way - while gaining absolutely nothing.
We already had perfect GUI for code coloring in DW 2015. First, even the notion that users now have to learn how to edit some cryptic text files is absolutely disturbing. Regarding, your advice to edit the LESS file, there are several issues:
I attached a screenshot that illustrates the issue.
