Settings for matching words box hightlight and odd green/blue bar to the right - intellij-idea

I have troubles finding settings for these two things, as I just want them removed.
I'm using WebStorm 2017.3 EAP, but afaik, this would be the same in the other IntelliJ products.
Both issues are on both themes, however the default theme, be bounding box is not as apparent.
The white bounding box that appears on matching words (around services in the screenshot. I just want it dimmed a bit.
This looks like this is only Material UI, but could be related settings.
Far right green border. It's there in some files not in others, and I can't figure out what it actually represents. Some times it's blue. I just want it removed.
Note: This is not the no the hard wrap guide line, as I removed that already.
I've really tried looking through all settings, but I think I might not be using the correct terminology.
Thank you on beforehand, this is driving me nuts.
Edit: Updated images and with default theme + material theme eap.
Edit: Solved problem number 1. It's `Editor -> Color Scheme -> General -> Code -> Identifier under caret

Workable alternative to "Presentation Mode" in Intellij and Pycharm

As detailed in this YouTrack issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-40008 Presentation Mode is basically a one-way ticket: you can check in but you just can't leave.
One of the "misses" of returning to "normal" mode is that only the Editor panel is displayed: the Explorer, Debugger, etc. are all invisible.
That's a hassle to rectify in real time when presenting to a group of people. When I am actually giving presentations that include code snippet walk-throughs going back and forth between modes is mandatory so then Presentation Mode is a non-starter.
But then what? I code at a small font to view lots of code at one time. This is incompatible with displaying code on a projector. Here are some attempted band-aids:
Hit Command-+ a few times to increase the font. This does work, but if I switch to another file then I have to repeat that process: the new file does not "inherit" the zoomed-in preference. Then if I switch back to the first file it too has forgotten the zoom. That is very annoying for me and the audience
Change the Editor|Font .
This is a potentially better solution: at least it does affect all files and is "sticky". However I do find that the optimal resolution often requires tweaking for a given audience due to differing viewer characteristics e.g. Zoom vs Hangouts. So then I end up going into that dialog more than once with a gaggle of folks watching/waiting. Also not ideal.
The behavior is identical across recent releases of both Intellij (Ultimate 2019.3.1) and Pycharm (Ultimate 2019.2.3).
Anyone have alternative/better approaches?
I setup several Color Scheme Font schemes for desktop/laptop/presentation with different font sizes. I then use Ctrl-~ to quickly switch between them. Doesn't solve all the issues you mentioned, though.
I took a separate approach to fix this actually. When your font size is messed up after exiting the presentation mode, you can do the following.
Go to Preferences and then Appearance. Find the font size of the presentation mode and set it to the default font size (in my case it was 13). Then click Apply and you are good to go. Set the font size to 20 (or any other bigger size) back again for presentation mode.

IntelliJ IDEA - Choosing specific font width within family

I'm on OS X El Capitan running IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.3.
I've been trying to change the font in my IntelliJ IDEA editor, but when I go to select which font to select, the dropdown list only gives me a list of font families, and doesn't allow me to choose individual weights, as I wanted to use the Book font, while IntelliJ uses the Medium font by default. Is there any way to prioritize which weight I want to use?
I found an indirect way by disabling the Medium font file through Font Book, but that kind of bothers me because that disables it for all programs rather than simply IntelliJ.
Thanks in advance.
This should be possible now. I just checked by going to Settings > Editor > Font and different font weights show up correctly in the dropdown:
If you still have this problem, you should file an issue with JetBrains.

Possible to change the colour of the indentation guide lines per indentation level?

I can change the indentation guide line colour as shown in this image (the green lines):
I'd like to have the colour be different per indentation level, to help with code inspection and reading. Similar to this poor edit. Alternatively if it was per scope that'd be even better, i.e. the 2 for loops at the same indenation level would have different colour indentation lines.
Anybody know if this is possible in IntelliJ/Android Studio?
Thanks!
The color of the vertical indent guide can be changed in IntelliJ IDEA when you go to Preferences > Editor > Colors & Fonts > General, then select the list item “Vertical indent guide”. See this Screenshot. Tested on Mac OS X with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 14.1.4.

this plugin shows color guide lines and much more related

What is the name of this NetBeans Theme property?

I am customizing a NetBeans themes to find set up the right colour balance for my eyes.
I would like to change the colour of the default PHP functions in the suggestion (auto-complete box) to something different as I find the dark blue is hard to read.
I haven't had much like finding the name of the property to do so.
To explain further. I know where to change the colours. I just can't find this particular one.
Tools > Options > Fonts & Colours.
I am using 7.4 nightly build version (2013-06-19_17-09-51/ that I got here: http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/)
I have changed my look & feel and using Dark Metal theme for the Tool itself.
(Tools > Options > Misc. > Windows (tab)
If I find the answer myself, I'll post it here.
Thanks!
edit:
It seems like it's not actually the Fonts&Colour theme that sets the colour.
Changing the theme from my custom one to e.g. Desert theme doesnt change the colour of the auto-completion box. So I was looking at the wrong place... nevertheless, I would still like to change the default colour of the text depicted below.
If anyone knows how, please share! :)
It turns out that this is a bug.
I asked about the same issue on the NetBeans forum and got a reply.

Aptana Studio 3: How to get rid of brighter whitespace background sections?

Developing in Aptana 3 I get some whitespace colored brighter than the regular background, as if I have it selected. This is really annoying and makes it difficult to read the code.
Any thoughts on how to get rid of this?
Other themes provide this sort of white space reveal so it must be possible. Might try exporting one of the themes that does, peering into that export and seeing if you can reverse engineer.
Otherwise, grab a theme that does and tweak it to suit your needs.
Unless you've found another solution - this is a bit late.
Pick a different theme. Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes.
