I would like to have an option in preferences file to turn bracket matching on or off.

Sometimes, when typing it is hard to detect where the caret is. For example:

In this case it is better to hide bracket markers altogether.

When I need to locate a matching brace I could use key-bound command "Go to bracket".

I'd really like to see theme support for brackets matching so that:

1. the very annoying boxes can be turned off
2. matching brackets can be highlighted by color (foreground, background, or both)

You can set "editor.matchBrackets": false

@bpasero turning off bracket matching is _not_ the same thing. I don't appreciate the issue being closed without actually being addressed. I want bracket matching; I just want it with color instead of this legibility killing outline.

@jsumners please follow our bug guidelines when reporting issues, we do not want different issues in one issue exactly for this reason. I closed this item because the things described by @fantaclaus were solved.

As for theming of bracket matching, you can set the following setting to tune the experience:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorBracketMatch.background": "",
    "editorBracketMatch.border": ""
}
