After upgrading from Intellij 2022.2 to 2022.3 and trying to enable the "New UI":
then my solarized theme didn't seem to work as before. The "code window", terminal etc uses solarized, but other windows, such as the "project window", doesn't as you can see in this screenshot:
I've tried disabling the "New UI" again, but Solarized still won't be applied to all windows the way it previously used to. I've tried using both "Solarized Theme" (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14920-solarized-theme) and "Solarized Themes 4lex4" (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12784-solarized-themes).
Question: How do I get the solarized theme to work in all windows (preferably with the "New UI" if possible)?
The "Main Changes and Known Issues..." link says only to use the Light and Dark themes with the new UI to avoid issues like this.
The new Light and Dark color themes have improved contrast and a
consistent color palette.
Please use only these themes while working with the new UI. Other
themes might look misaligned and have unexpected colors.

I found the answer just as I asked the question 🤦♂️ If anyone else have the same problem, you should go to
Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance
and select the solarized theme. Then all windows will use solarized.
Silly question, but, does anyone know how to change the colour of these dark separator lines in intellij?
I'm using material theme UI plugin but can't seem to find this in the settings or in the colour scheme.
Thanks

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.

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.
I have tried to change to Dracula theme. But i find it too dark.
When i revert back to default. Only the editor pane reverts.
Every thing else remains dark.
Navigate to Preferences > Appearance and Behavior > Appearance and change the theme to "Default".
Then you simply need to restart Android Studio for this to take effect.

Found answer in stackoverflow Reset Intellij UI to Default. Basically delete:
.IntellijIdea14\config\options\options.xml
\laf.xml
\colors.scheme.xml
