I just upgraded to 10.2.3 (Tokyo) from Seattle on a laptop running Windows 10.
I use & need some Scalabium components (by Mike Shkolnik) and have attempted to install the latest version from the downloaded .pas files - which are 10.2.3-compatible.
I've had no trouble last time I installed those components for Seattle, but I do it only every few years.
I think that I have installed that package - the components show up in the IDE - but with some wrinkles:
I must have done something wrong.
Here are the symptoms:
When I start Delphi, all icons show on all IDE component tabs on the
Component toolbar. All's good. [see first screen capture]
[]1
When I open my project (from the Startup Layout), my code appears OK, then there is a 1-2 second wait, then ALL icons, from ALL component tabs - disappear, not just from the SMComponents tab. Gone.[see second screen capture]
With my project still open, if I click again on Tools > Options > Component Toolbar, two things happen [see third screen capture]:
A> The Tools > Options > Component Toolbar pop-up contains all the correct icons for all the components of all tabs (pages) - no change there.
B> However, behind it, on the IDE, all the icons are back, in all the tabs, not just the SMComponents tab! It's a miracle!
When I close the Options window, the IDE icons disappear again - we're back to the second picture above. Quite counter-productive.
Any suggestions on what might cause this (probably something I clobbered...) would be welcome.
Thanks!

My question consist of 2 parts:
After update to 2019 version of IntelliJ Scroll to Source option from project panel is missing, after some web search I'm unable to find it. Is it missing? Default?
I'd like to set "scroll to source" so that whenever I'm opening tab it's highlighted in project, but exclude redirect to external libraries like java's or node_modules (they tend to be several classes long and make scrolling time-consuming). Excluding those libraries from project would be kind of a way perhaps?
The actions have been renamed improve an user experience for those who move from other IDEs: Autoscroll to Source -> Open Files with Single Click, Autoscroll from Source -> Always Select Opened File; see IDEA-217044.
Note that Scroll from Source button (currently called Select Opened File) is only available if Always Select Opened FIle is disabled.
There is no way to disable auto-scrolling to libraries; please vote for IDEA-200580 to be notified on any progress with this feature request.
I will give my use case first. I have two similar android studio projects which needs to be opened always. Now what happens is, I often make changes in wrong project because there is no easy way to identify which project I'm on by simply looking at UI (other than looking at the project name on top- which will go away on full screen). So it would be great if I could use dracula theme on one project and default theme on other. Is there any way to achieve it.
There is a way to change the background color of project pane and recent files window.
Goto Preference -> Appearance & Behavior -> File Colors -> {Add project files and set color}
Got the solution from here
There is the ability to "to define any image as a background".
Set a background image for the current project only, or for any project you open or create anew.
To set a background image
1. Either press:
Shift twice (Searching Everywhere), or
Ctrl+Shift+A (Navigating to Action)
and start typing set back
2. In the dialog box that opens,
Specify:
the image you want to use as the background,
its opacity,
filling and placement options.
Choose to show background in:
the editor and tool windows, or
in the IntelliJ IDEA frame.
Selecting checkbox This project only:
Show background in the current project and ignore this background in the other projects.

I find the UX of IntelliJ to be extremely annoying (especially since I have been using XCode until now and really love it). Specifically the fact that I need to "double click" a file in order to view it, and moreover that the file is opened in a new tab.
The behaviour that I desire is that when selecting a new file from the file navigator, the file open "inside" (replace) the currently viewed tab. I don't want to have to double-click the file from the navigator and I don't want the file to open in a new tab.
So for instance if the current tab is showing "File1.xxx" and I were to select (Single-click) "File2.xxx" from the navigator, the tab would now show "File2.xxx" and not "File1.xxx".
I am not aware of how to define this behaviour in the settings screen.
I am using IntelliJ Ultimate 2017.2.2 on a Mac.
A couple of examples of what I want:
Like in XCode:

I am just evaluating IntelliJ IDEA. Installed it with default procedures.
I created a simple Spring project and when I right click on the project, not able to see the the bottom part of the pop up menu. The issue is because of my laptop screen's height is less and could not fit the entire set of pop-up menu items.
In eclipse there is a drop down arrow, so that I can scroll to the menu items, which do not fit in the screen. How can I get the similar eclipse functionality in IntelliJ?
Well, you are only missing one useful feature (Genereate Java code from wsdl). I would ignore it unless you need to generate such code.
If you want to run this generation you can do this with Ctrl + Shift + A (and start typing feature name)
//btw, it is better to make code generation in maven anyway
I have just installed IntelliJ 9.0.2 on a machine running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04.
How do I get another window to put on my second screen?
I would like to have both an editor and some tool windows on both screens.
All 'windows' inside of IntelliJ other than the code editor tabs have a "Float" option which pops open an independent window which you can drag to anywhere on your screen. This will allow you to manage your IDEA windows however you like.
IntelliJ also allow you to open multiple projects at once. When opening a project with one already opened, you are prompted as to wether you would like it in your current window or a "New Instance". If you choose new instance, it will open up a completely new IntelliJ with the other project in it. This will work for you if you have many projects you work on at once.
IntelliJ 14 and onwards you can select the settings cog and tick floating mode to detach menus, or drag editor tabs off the main window to detach them
If you're running on OSX you'll need to make sure it's not treating the screens as separate spaces, otherwise they'll snap back onto the same window as the main editor when switching between windows.
To do this untick Displays have separate Spaces in the Mission Control System Preferences.
IntelliJ 10 will have draggable & dockable editor tabs. A very nice feature. It's already present in the early access versions.
