It seems to me that in my IDE everything is too petty. I would like there to be a font about the same as inside the editor. How can I do it?
And how can I increase the scale of the launch icons? Although I see everything perfectly, it seems inconvenient for me.
IntelliJ IDEA user interface/icons are scaled automatically depending on the system DPI/scaling settings.
You can try to override it in Help | Edit Custom VM Options (effective after IDE restart):
-Dide.ui.scale=1.5
Menu/toolbar font/size can be overridden in the IDE Appearance settings:
More details can be found in this document.

I'm using manjaro since a wil, and everything is well else intellij.
the size and ratio of tool bar and side bars is unacceptable.
I tried to resize tool bar but the resize button in (window -> active tool window) is disabled, and I tried to find anything could helps in settings but nothing relatd to ui is working (for example background opacity).
as shown in the picture I couldn't work clean with the code.
If you would like to have more space for code, you can try one of the following:
Change the IDE view mode via View > Appearance to the one that fits your purpose the best.
In usual mode hide all the side windows with Hide tool windows (Ctrl+Shift+F12).
Show / Hide any components via View > Appearance, that is, check/uncheck toolbar, Navigation bar, etc.
Decrease IDE font size (Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance, Use custom font) and/or Editor font size (Settings | Editor | Font).
If none of the suggested options works for you, please file a new issue in our tracker and describe what exactly goes wrong in your case if you follow this or that suggestion. Thank you!
Is there a way to completely turn off all intentions light bulbs in Intellij 2016.1, so that none ever appear? In older versions, you could apparently edit options/editor.xml, but no such file exists in 2016.1.
I just answered that in hide Intellij Idea yellow light bulb
TL;DR:
Preferences > Appearance > Show intention bulb
Update:
In GoLand 2020.1 (and possibly all InteliJ 2020.1 products) this setting can be found here:
Editor > General > Appearance > Show intention bulb
If that doesn't work for you, type "bulb" in the search field in the Settings. I hope that helps.
Maybe this could help you
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/configuring-intention-actions.html?origin=old_help
To configure intention settings using the Settings dialog
By default, all available intention actions that ship with IntelliJ IDEA, are enabled. By changing the Intention Settings, you can disable the actions that are not required for your current working environment.
Open the Settings / Preferences Dialog by choosing File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences for OS X, and click Intentions under Editor.
In the Intentions page, clear the check boxes of the intention actions or action categories that you do not currently need.
Selecting or clearing a category affects all intention actions in this category.
Apply changes and close the dialog.
Whenever I use the navigation pop-up (ie, the "Go To File" modal) in IntelliJ IDEA, there's a horizontal scrollbar that shows up sometimes, which hides the last result, or hides the only result:
Is there any way to hide this scrollbar? In a practical sense, I can of course tell that it's probably found the correct file, and worst case I just go to the wrong file. Just a minor annoyance, really.
Note: I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.2 under Ubuntu 14.04, using the Unity windows manager. This doesn't happen in the OSX version.

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.
This seems like a bug in IntelliJ 12: Every couple of times when I switch between keyboard layouts (English and Hebrew) IntelliJ get stuck on one of them and ignore the windows selected keyboard layout. This happens only for intelliJ, all other programs respond as usual to the windows selected keyboard layout.
Is there at least a workaround, or a way to reset IntelliJ's keyboard layout? The only thing that seems to work for me so far is restarting my machine...
(My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit)
This is 100% reproduced when you switch keyboard layout in quick class search (Ctrl+N). Also in intellij idea 13.
Something like:
Open quick search menu when keyboard is not in English layout (Russian e.g.)
Type anything
Switch to English
Congratulations! you stuck in russian layout :) restart your intellij idea!
When I ceased to switch layout in search, I forgot about this problem.
UPD: it's suitable for most part of text inputs (even for search and file creation)
I've just had this problem on PyCharm 2020.2.3
Here's how I've solved it:
Go to Settings -> Keymap
At the bottom of the window, check the option Use national layouts for shortcuts (require restart)
That did the trick
restarting IntelliJ also works.
I wonder how they managed to get such a stupid bug, this is not an easy bug to write, especially in Java.
That was found to be more like a global Microsoft/Oracle bug. Simple workaround from IntelliJ's issue tracker: use Windows' language parameters to assign a hotkey (Ctrl + number) for changing the layout directly to a desired language. This suddenly will affect both Windows And IDEA. It's said that bug was fixed in Win8. A bit more info: here
In 2020 bug is still relevant in the most IDEs based on IntelliJ. For example I observe this in PyCharm now.
There is workaround for Windows:
Go to Language Bar - Settings... - Advanced Key Settings
Set key sequence of To English action to Ctrl + 1
Set key sequence of to other your language to Ctrl + 2
Apply
Go to IntelliJ/PyCharm and switch language by new sequences
After that bug disappears and you can switch language by traditional method
For me the following actions seem to resolve the issue:
Go to Control Panel
Select Clock, Language & Region
Press Region
In the opened window choose English for Format.
Also all my settings except the location are set to English (locale, default keyboard etc.)
This fix worked on my mac, access Preferences -> Editor -> Typing Corrector from the intellij IDEA menu. If you are able to navigate to the same window on your OS, you can try this.
Uncheck Enable keyboard layout correction in the Typing Corrector window
I got the same issue in Ubuntu 16.04. Restarting IDEA doesn't change anything. But Changing the default layout to be the one I want by default ensured ubuntu work well with it.
Go to the search textfield above file editor.
Switch layout.
Type smth.
Click somwhere in the file editor.
Write smth with swithed layout.
