How do I specifically change Intellij Idea theme color for version update window? - intellij-idea

I recently changed my Intellij Idea theme to use a custom theme, then have been tweaking it to fit my personal preferences.
I've fixed most of the deficiencies in usability/readablity but am still running into issues in the popup window that comes up when you click the update button:
What comes up is completely unreadable:
So the question is: Where is the setting for overriding the colors in this window? This is pretty much the last problem I have with my custom theme, and I've combed through the settings trying to determine how to change this to no avail.
Note: If this is the wrong stack exchange site to ask this question, let me know the correct one and I'll move it.

It is known issue: IDEA-227157 that has been fixed for 2020.2.X versions (release is planned in the end of July of 2020).

Intellij Complete - Editor Tabs not formatted

I just downloaded the Complete version of IntelliJ,
I imported my settings from the community version.
I checked in the editor tab settings, nothing craz going on.
I tried changing the position but still it had issues...
But my editor tabs are not showing correctly, cany anyone help?
Ahh, this was fixed with an update to the Materials Plugin. Make sure to keep updated!

Tooltip doesn't let me type text when it is appeared. IDEA's editor

I am working with Itellij IDEA (2017.2.4). I am not sure whether the reason is new version of IDEA, but I started to face it after new version installed.
When I type some code in editor and Tooltip is shown (it can be inspection or just parameters of method shown ect.) I cannot type new symbols until pressing ESCAPE button, it is not useful for me. Before updating the IDEA there was behavior when user types new code, tooltip is hidden without ESCAPE pressing. It was made hidden by any key pressed.
Actually maybe I just change some setting property unconsciously, if yes - what is the property needed to be restored to default?
How to make it hidden not by ESCAPE but by any button?
In next image I pictured the moment when only ESCAPE key can be pressed.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue, even when I use v2017.2.4 on windows. The behavior should be that you can still type even when the tooltip is present:
I can't think of anything in terms of settings that could cause this issue. If it's just the "parameter info" tooltip that is causing the issue, you can disable it (or just increase the delay time) from automatically popping up via the setting: Settings > Editor > Code Completion > "Parameter Info" > "Autopopup" You can then manually open it via the Parameter Info Action via Ctrl+P / ⌘P. The setting #Maciej-Białorucki mentioned will effect the time before other tooltips open. Setting to a high value might help if other tooltips are causing issues.
Personally, I find the auto popup useful. To troubleshoot why this is causing issues, I'd recommend trying the following:
Upgrade to v 2017.2.6 which was released yesterday. While I personally can't reproduce it, and I'm not seeing anything about it in the 2017.2.5 Release Notes nor the 2017.2.6 Release Notes, it can't hurt to try and upgrade.
Disable all third party plugins and restart IDEA. See if the issue persists. In my 14 years of using IDEA and helping people with it on the forums, I've seen 3rd party plugins having bugs that cause other parts of IDEA to misbehave. Since you recently upgraded, it's possible a 3rd party plugin is having a compatibility issue with the new version. If the disabling them solves it, use a binary search to as you re-enable the plugins to track down the culprit and then report the bug to the plugin's developer.
See if it happens in other projects. If not there may be something wrong with the project's configuration. (A long shot. But worth checking out)
As another long shot, you can try invalidating the caches and then restarting IDEA via File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... I have on occasion over the years seen a corrupted index file or cache cause strange behavior.
If none of the above work, I suggest opening a bug report with JetBrains at: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com
Check Tooltip initial delay(ms) option under Appearance in Idea settings.
As I divined there was a property in settings that influences to the behavior described in a question. So to continue writing code without pressing ESCAPE key you must uncheck the following property:
Menu page Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings
Checkbox Accessibility -> Support screen readers (requires start)

Remove PhpStorm blue tab underline

How can I remove the blue underline?
ATM you cannot.
It was introduced to make currently active tab more visible in Darcula GUI Theme (IDEA-131683, IDEA-103206) where tab backgrounds are too similar. Check comments there (mainly first ticket).
So far the best match would be https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-168708 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
In meantime please try Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter plugin -- it may provide such functionality (was created by one of the users before this new tab highlighting functionality was introduced) -- it's customizable so may not have such underline at all.
Your image link is broken.
Please, try to follow this path step by step:
File/Settings/Editor/Color Scheme/General
This General screen can remove with checkbox disable all underline
Also, you can look this image.
I hope have been helping you.

WebStorm, how to disabled "virtual space" in the middle of text?

This is freaking annoying me. I don't know which option do this, but it is really bothering me so much.
The problem is that WebStorm add a "virtual" space after each text like function or object (picture 1). You can see it because clearly in the highlight text (picture 2).
Also, when I am writing on a line, the text is push right to the caret (picture 3)
I want to know which option is it, to disable it.
There is an open issue for this problem:
IDEA-154843 There is a space coming between cursor and the next letter when typing or the cursor is moved.
It definitely helps to select a different font, but reinstalling the latest version of Source Code Pro font may also help.
UPDATE:
It should be already fixed in latest 2017.1 builds.
Thanks the tip from user #yole & user #LazyOne, the problem was the font "Source Code Pro". Changing the font, solve the problem.
As user #CrazyCoder has link this question to an open bug, the next is information for Jetbrains Developers.
SO: MacOS 10.12.1
WebStorm version: 2016.3.4 (Download it on 8th March 2017)

Ignore whitespace changes in IntelliJ changebars

I have a file from our repository where I ran auto-indent (because it was a mess), and now the whole file is marked by blue changebars (down the right hand side of the editor window), making it difficult to find my changes.
I am already ignoring whitespace changes in the diff window (as described here: Intellij and changes tab), is there a way to also do this in the editor window?
I couldn't find a way to completely ignore whitespaces, but IntelliJ (I'm using version 2016) lets you set an option to color whitespace-only changes differentely:
Editor -> General -> Different color for lines with whitespace-only modifications
which helps tremendously.
At the moment [idea 13.5] it seems that is not possible to ignore spaces in the standard editor. You can open a support ticket
We also faced this in the company due the different codestyles used, at the end we settle for:
setting a common codestyle that everyone editing the code should [actually must] follow
reformat the whole codebase to the given codestyle
recommit the formatted code [without any addition or deletion, just the reformat]
It took just a bit of time, but at the end now we are working far better. In this way from that moment onward, we would have all the time the code that would aesthetically the same trough next versions.
You can completely disable the highlight of whitespace modified lines in :
Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> VSC -> Editor Gutter -> Whitespace-modified lines
And then uncheck the background color :
Essentially, you want Intellij to use the --ignore-all-space or --ignore-space-change upon a merge.
My developer team also deals with this challenge because we have different code formatting preferences. The result is every merge is painful for no reason. The team loves being able to have their code formatting, but this negates it.
As of now there is no solution. Intellij has the technology to ignore whitespace, so fixing this is really just adding a check box on the merge diff screen or even in the version control settings.
