Intellij 14; Color scheme change ; Not all panes are obeying the change? - intellij-idea

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.
And learn how to add them here

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

Remove PhpStorm blue tab underline

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.

disable all intention bulbs intellij 2016.1

Is there a way to completely turn off all intentions light bulbs in Intellij 2016.1, so that none ever appear? In older versions, you could apparently edit options/editor.xml, but no such file exists in 2016.1.
I just answered that in hide Intellij Idea yellow light bulb
TL;DR:
Preferences > Appearance > Show intention bulb
Update:
In GoLand 2020.1 (and possibly all InteliJ 2020.1 products) this setting can be found here:
Editor > General > Appearance > Show intention bulb
If that doesn't work for you, type "bulb" in the search field in the Settings. I hope that helps.
Maybe this could help you
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/configuring-intention-actions.html?origin=old_help
To configure intention settings using the Settings dialog
By default, all available intention actions that ship with IntelliJ IDEA, are enabled. By changing the Intention Settings, you can disable the actions that are not required for your current working environment.
Open the Settings / Preferences Dialog by choosing File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences for OS X, and click Intentions under Editor.
In the Intentions page, clear the check boxes of the intention actions or action categories that you do not currently need.
Selecting or clearing a category affects all intention actions in this category.
Apply changes and close the dialog.

How to change color of active tab

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:

How to change the active tab header's color in IntelliJ 14.1.4?

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.

JetBrains IDEA: Change color of code completion menu selection highlight in Darcula LAF

Darcula and I are struggling to come to terms. Legibility is poor overall but some things I just have to change:
In this code completion suggestion menu, the selected item is not legible.
Where in the preferences or preferences XML file is the background color of the selected item text set?
You can find the option to change the color of the code auto completion window from the following place.
Open your settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General > Popups and Hints > Completion.
Note: you may also search for the keyword completion in the settings page to find the option fast.
Then adjust the background color and click apply.
You can check the screenshot for a visual reference.
I fixed this 3 days ago. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-103104
Now it looks like this
idea completion http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6516/ss20130319202811.png
I solved this probleme by downloading a new INTELLIJ THEME named Gradianto and it works nice,
Gradianto allows you to chose beetween 3 darcula theme once it's installed in your intellij, and all of this theme will highlight the selected item clearly with code completion.
Yous install the theme with :
IntellijIDEA --> Preferences --> Plugins --> And you search and install Gradianto theme
Here is the youtube tutoriel where i see it:

Hope that will help
Thanks
I got a nice answer to your question.
This is link : java - Changing the font colour in IDEA code-completion window - Stack Overflow
You just need unable this option :
[
Settings —— Editor —— Code Completion
—— Insert selected variant by typing dot , space ,etc .
]
No doubt of it , it works very well for me !
