The reason that sometimes I don't make a commit until the final version of changes will be ready is that I have lines of my changes highlighted in the IDE.
Is there a way to color a scrollbar or line number where resent changes has been made? (almost like annotate with Blame but without 5cm of workspace)
The case: I made a branch from develop. Cherry-picked some commits and making my changes.
So I have a tiny mark next to the lines that differs from develop and have a list of changed files.
. Is there a way to color a scrollbar or line number where resent changes has been made?
If you have your project listed under Preferences | Version Control | Directory Mappings
and you have enabled "Highlight modified lines in gutter" in Preferences | Version Control | Confirmation
Then you should have color indication in a gutter, as mentioned here
Install Git Scope plugin
Unfortunately this feature is not available in the core IntelliJ and probably won't be in the nearest future. There is an issue/feature request open since 2009
I have a project opened in IntelliJ and Git is also enabled for the project. What is the issue I am facing is, according to the following image, the red "branch pane" is missing from IDE and the only thing I see is the green area.
And also I see the blue area instead of "Git" it is showing "Version Control". So I need to know how I can get the branch pane back like the attached image.
Your IntelliJ IDEA is too old, it does not have this feature. To show the branches pane you need at least IntelliJ IDEA version 2020.1.
A picture is worth a thousand words:
The color for annotations is configured in Settings | Editor | Color Scheme | VCS.
However, this is not a default color and does not look like a configuration issue. Seems like there was a theme switch recently from Darcula to Light, and annotations background is still from Darcula.
Check if reopening project or restarting IDE helps.
I'm using a dark theme in IntelliJ 14, the problem is that I have difficulties in distinguish the active tab, because its header's background is not different than the other tabs I have opened (or it is, but very little). I looked all over the place for a method to change the color of the active tab header's background, no luck so far.
Please help?
Please note that this setting has worked for IntelliJ 14 back then, but is no longer applicable for newer versions
Find the comments below for plugins as a great alternative (Material Theme UI, Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter)
Although, if you are still using IntelliJ 14:
Under File \ Settings \ Appearance & Behavior \ File Colors,
turn off "Use in Editor Tabs", as test tabs background are
dark-green by default, which is similar to the dark-grey non-selected
tabs.
After that, optionally you can set the colors under:
File \ Settings \ Editor \ Colors & Fonts \ File Status
and change the Foreground color of "Modified" status.
Now it will highlight the modified files (in version control).
To me, the solution turned out to be a plugin implementation:
https://github.com/tobszarny/ActiveTabHighlighterPlugin
Feel free to fork it for alteration, or use as is. Now with color customization and with IntelliJ platform IDE's support, such as PhpStorm or RubyMine.
Now also in the plugins repository, for auto update whenever new version is made.
If you are using the latest intellij you can make this customisation through the menu, see the screenshot for the breadcrumb. This is from version: 2020.1.1 Ultimate Edition
The Material Theme UI allows additional settings
like color and thickness of the line below the active tab (pink in the screenshot)
Whilst this solution does not change the colour between tabs, it does change all tab colours so that you can distinguish it from the background tab bar, which in my case was enough. It may still help others.
I used File Colors. The image below shows what I did. Set scope to All and choose the Custom colour (white):
I am using Darcula theme with a background image (simple plain black image). I tried the excellent plugin suggested by Tomasz O. https://stackoverflow.com/users/2479048/tomasz-o, but it did not work. Later on, I realized that when I decreased the opacity of background image, I was actually able to distinguish the color change made by the plugin. I wonder why Android Studio does not provide a convenient setting for changing active tab header color. I'm on AS 3.4.2 already!
Intellij 2019.1 has options for customization.
Besides, it has new themes for different shades of color you can choose from.
When I hover the mouse on a HTML tag in the tiny bar under the file tab, the background of the highlighted element is very bright, and the text becomes unreadable.
I couldn't find a way to customize this in the settings, can somebody help?
Here's what I mean:
It uses your caret row color (it just automatically makes it lighter so it's more visible) and not some separate style which you can disable/modify.
ATM there is no option to disable such behaviour. I mean -- IDEA-139930 ticket is fixed, but not available in 141.xx branch that PhpStorm is currently built on.
If it annoys you a lot then right now I may only suggest to disable that breadcrumbs bar altogether until PhpStorm will move to 142.xx or newer branch. For that: Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | General | Appearance | Show HTML breadcrumbs (you will have to close and reopen that file to see the changes).
You should post more info about specification: exact version of PhpStorm etc.
