How do you change background color in the settings of JetBrain's IDE?
What are the settings to change the background color in JetBrains' IDE?
- Project explorer pane
- Console pane
- Code editor
- Other Panes
I'm running v12.1.6 Ultimate Version. Are there major differences between different versions of the software?
Solution 1:
Console pane:
Settings / Editor / Colors & Fonts / Console colors
Console, background
Project view:
Settings / File colors
Add (Alt+insert), choose 'project files' scope, select a color.
Uncheck the 'Use in editor tabs' checkbox, make sure to check 'Use in project view'
Main view (general):
Settings / Editor / Color & fonts / General
Text, Default text
Solution 2:
For changing the background of the editor goto File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts->General->Text. You'll see an item called "Default text". On the right you will see a checkbox for background. Click on it and choose whatever color you prefer.
Solution 3:
To change the editor background color in newer versions (after 2017) of Intellij Idea go to Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General and then on the right side list expand Text and click on "Default text" then click on the color hex code to get the color wheel.
Solution 4:
- Go to File option top left in the menu bar.
- Select Settings
- Select Appearance option in "Appearance & Behavior"
- Select Intellij option as Theme in UI Options.
- You should able to see everything in while background much like eclipse.
Solution 5:
Editor > Color Scheme > General > Text
