In IntelliJ
I can't find this anywhere but I am trying to get that tan/grayish box to not be there so I can have just the black background, but it seems to highlight whatever I'm working on just like the tabs to the right. But I don want that big highlight.
Does anyone know the seting to turn that off?
Go to Settings > Appearance & Behavior > File Colors and you will see 3 check-boxes on top. Disable first one Enable File Colors and it will remove shade you are referring to.
Also disable Use in Project View but Enable File Colors should cover all File Colors

I want to change color of a margin of separated code editors.
To be precise:
you have two files open in editor
on one file you click with your right mouse button
click "Split Down"
now you have two code editors (two files, two panels) in one window
I want to change color of a margin between this two files (as the red line shows):
Now it's black and it's hard to see where one code ends and second begins.
Currently, it's not possible. Please, vote for IDEA-146953 and follow for updates.
I know that I can change the color of just about all texts in IntelliJ IDEA by navigating to
Settings -> Editor -> Color Scheme
and then finding the item that I want to change the color of.
I have not, however, been able to find the proper name or category for the controls that would change the color of the filenames listed in the Version Control window.
I have clicked through most every option available there and although I know I missing something super simple, I have been unsuccessful.
Here is a picture to show exactly what I'm talking about.
Settings | Version Control | File Status Colors
Netbeans 9.0

I've set my background to black - I forget the motif name and I can't find out how change it again. Java highlighting of same objects (methods, object names, etc.) is all but unreadable. I've tried to find a place to change it (Tools->Options->Fonts & Colors->Highlighting) and can't find the right highlighting option. Ditto for breakpoint highlighting.
And in addition, the cursor can not be seen. Probably the cursor color is black and can't be seen on a black background.
For example, click on internalFrame and others are highlighted and unreadable (the first 'internalFrame' is readable, the rest not):
JInternalFrame internalFrame = new JINternalFrame();
internalFrame.method1();
internalFrame.method2();
Is there a way to change these highlights?
Is there a way to change these highlights?
Yes, but you have to go to different places to change them, depending on what you want to change:
(1) To change most coloring for the edit window containing program source:
Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors
Select the Syntax tab, and then select Java (or whatever language you are using) from the Language drop list.
Most of the options you want to modify are probably listed in the Category window.
Beneath the Category window is a Preview window which will immediately show you the effect of changing the Foreground and/or Background colors for a given Category entry. As an (extreme) example, this screen shot shows the effect of changing the font color to yellow and the background color to red for Java identifiers:
Some Category entries which are not language specific (e.g. URL, Whitespace) can be found by selecting All Languages from the Language drop list.
There is a Restore button in the top right of the screen if you mess up, and want to revert to the defaults.
(2) To change the cursor color:
Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors
Select the Highlighting tab, and then select Caret Color from the Category window.
Select Foreground and Background colors as appropriate.
(3) To change the highlighting for breakpoint lines see the answers to the SO question How to change background color of line highlighting during debug process in Netbeans?
Notes:
Although you didn't ask, you also have limited ability to change the colors used in the Console windows: Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > select the Terminal tab.
There are many dark color schemes available for NetBeans, so if the one you are using has annoying limitations just try some of the alternatives. NetBeans 8.2 offers a few under Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins, such as Darcula LAF for NetBeans, Dark Look And Feel Themes and 2pmTech L&F.
Also, here are a couple of sites that offer many NetBeans themes with previews: https://netbeansthemes.com/ and http://svenspruijt.nl/themebuilder/
As the title, I want to change color of active tab to make it to be more different from other. I went through https://devnet.jetbrains.com/thread/274446 but it's not enough!
Is there any way to do that?
I just found out in intellij, it's "file scope" that controls a file's background in project pane as well as in the tabs. Here is the steps to add/modify current scope/tab background.
The default Darcula theme sets the "Tests" scope to this dark green color which is very close to the tab control background. I always lost track of which tab is activated when it's one of the test files. Hope this helps.
The Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter plugin provides a simple way of solving this problem.
Go to File -> Settings.
In Plugins type "Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter into the search box.
Click on the "Search in repositories" link.
Select the Active IntelliJ Tab Highlighter and click on the green Install button.
Close the window and restart IntelliJ
The active tab should now be highlighted in purple. If required, a different color can be chosen via File -> Settings -> Tools -> Active Tab Highlighter Plugin -> Background (clicking on it brings up a color picker). I personally went with a less garish dark gray color (AAADAA).
An alternative way, Setting > File colors:
check Enable File Colors, Use in Editor Tab
uncheck Use in Project View
add new scope with your color (ex: Project Files with orange color)
For IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.2 (Community Edition)
You can change it in settings:
Settings | Editor | Color Scheme | General | Editor | Tabs | Selected Tab
There you can change Background and customize the view in other ways.
Although the question is quite old, when I googled the problem, this link was in the first three results, so I'll add my 5 cents as well.
Even though I could not find the way to brighten the color of an active tab alone, I was able to solve the problem by changing the color for a given scope altogether. In my case, it was the Tests scope, set to the default green, where the active tab was barely distinguishable from inactive ones, so I went to Settings > Appearance & Behavior > File Colors (exact location may depend on your Idea's version), selected the Tests scope and selected Custom color; the exact RGB value that worked for me was 1A7250. As a side-effect, the test directory's background color in the Project view also changed, which may or may not be a bad thing.
Regards, hope this helps.
I was losing the track of active tab using the darcula theme, in a test directory with a newly created file and staged with git. I ended up changing the File status color.
You will have to make a copy of your theme first:
When I hover the mouse on a HTML tag in the tiny bar under the file tab, the background of the highlighted element is very bright, and the text becomes unreadable.
I couldn't find a way to customize this in the settings, can somebody help?
Here's what I mean:
It uses your caret row color (it just automatically makes it lighter so it's more visible) and not some separate style which you can disable/modify.
ATM there is no option to disable such behaviour. I mean -- IDEA-139930 ticket is fixed, but not available in 141.xx branch that PhpStorm is currently built on.
If it annoys you a lot then right now I may only suggest to disable that breadcrumbs bar altogether until PhpStorm will move to 142.xx or newer branch. For that: Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Editor | General | Appearance | Show HTML breadcrumbs (you will have to close and reopen that file to see the changes).
You should post more info about specification: exact version of PhpStorm etc.
