I have a background image that a friend (digitaly) painted for me. It is a stunning piece of art and I would like to set it as the background of my Editor.
However... which selector do I use in my LESS file? I found out that using .pane targets the editor view, .tree-view the left-hand sidebar. But how do I set the wallpaper across all of them?
My first idea was to first remove the background of .editor and .tree-view...but which selector do I then use to load my background image?
There is a package called editor-background which not only allows you to set a background, but even a background video:
You can install it by opening the settings view with Ctrl-, switching to the Install panel and searching for editor-background. You can also install from the command line by running:
apm install editor-background

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!
I have seen many guides where artifacts menu contains Native bundle field. But I don't have it. Moreover, after building the project, the EXE file doesn't appear in any folder. See pic
The option is there but the bottom panel hides it. Please resize the panel and you get the option back. There is similar report on YouTrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-183544
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'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 an application which adds a tick mark (overlay icon) on the file icon (similar to the tick mark on files checked out from SVN repositories) after successful execution. I would like to detect through AutoIt whether the overlay icon is present for that file or not
Take a look at _ImageSearch library.
Do a printscreen with icon with overlay visible and then cut the small inner piece of the overlay and save it as a BMP.
Then use that image along with _ImageSearch.
You can do this by using _WinAPI_ShellGetImageList
