@rp:  Could you post your user.cfg.xml from your 25.0.2 configuration directory here.  Just attach it.  There's nothing private in it.  It's XML, you can look though it yourself.

@kevin:  Thanks, did you also migrate your configuration by exporting form 25.0.2 and importing into 26.0.0?
yes

@rp:  That user.cfg.xml did not contain any symbol coloring customizations.

Some of the built-in symbol coloring rules and colors were modified in the new release, trying to improve the color choices and adding a couple new symbol coloring rules.  I do not know if this is the difference you are seeing, please give me an example.

@kevin: I tested exporting your settings form 25.0.2 and importing them into a clean 26.0.0, I still can not reproduce what you saw.
ok, thanks, i will test again.

@rp: 

I am attaching a set of options to load with a new Default color profile, that matches the symbol coloring colors from 25.0.2 better.  In Beta3, the Default color profile will use these colors.

Also for Beta3, I am adding a new color profile named "Natural", which will be identical to "Default", but use the more natural symbol coloring choices that I initially had adopted for version 26.  I say natural here because the choices try to mirror the color choices for the symbol icons (variables green, functions magenta, etc).  You probably won't want the "Natural" scheme -- I just wanted to explain the reasoning behind those color choices, as they are used in numerous other color profiles.
