IntelliJ idea - any way to change visual line wrapping icon? - intellij-idea

I really like Intellij's line wrapping feature with icons marking line wraps. Hovewer the default wrapping icon's readability is far from ideal.. is there any way I could fix this little problem?

Current solution is to use standard unicode symbols from supplementary arrows set: 2925 and 2926.
You can modify that by specifying other unicode (hex) codes via idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code and idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code properties in idea.properties file. Note that it's necessary to define both symbols, e.g. add to the idea.properties something like below:
idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=2906
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=2907
Note that not all the fonts contain all the Unicode characters, so you have to choose the proper font in Settings | Editor | Colors & Fonts and specify the symbol code that exists in the font that you are using.

To clarify what CrazyCoder said:
On a Mac, you'll need to go into finder and "show package contents" on the Intellij IDEA.app, then you can add lines to the idea.properties file in the "bin" folder. Here's the arrow codes I went with:
idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=219e
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=21a0
Don't forget, you can also change their color in the program's preferences under "editor > colors and fonts > general > soft wrap sign".

IntelliJ IDEA: What name of these markers?

I don't understand this markers (between line numbers and collapse/expand markers). What words I should to google to find a documentation about it? Thanks.
updated: It is not a Gutter
It comes from Version Control plugin, the definition of colors you can find here: File | Settings | Color scheme | VCS.
That area is called the Gutter in IntelliJ speak, so you can search the settings for that term. It's typically used to show file differences when a file is under VCS control (git, svn, etc) but can also have other usages.

File named "auth_actions.dart" won't be highlighted in Intellij-idea

I created a file named "auth_actions.dart" in a dart project(either angular or not). The file content would have text colour being plain white, without any highlighted.
If I rename it to "auth_action.dart" or "auth_actionss.dart", the highlight will come back.
I did some experiments even from some random projects downloaded from github, all of them had this issue.
Anyone know how to fix it? Does anyone see the same issue using the name "auth_actions.dart"?
I assume you accidentally added the file to
Preferences > Editor > File Types > Recognized File Types > Text
Remove it from Registered Patterns to get hightlighting again.
You could accidentally mark it as plain text (the option is in the right-click menu). In this case, the option to mark it back as a Dart file is also in the context menu.

Intellij Idea how can I specify colors for a specific file type?

I am using a color theme that I am perfectly happy with, but I am dealing with a lot of ".impex" files that are unique to the Hybris platform. The IDE essentially sees them as text files. How can I add syntax coloring to these ".impex" files so the text is not just all one color?
Maybe this plugin can help you.
Syntax highlight for impex files
Besides, you can register a file pattern to a recognised file type: Preferences -> IDE Settings -> File Types.

How to change the font size of contents in netbeans navigator window

I want to change the font size of netbeans navigator window. I can change the font of editor window using Tools\Options\Fonts & Colors. But it is reflected only in the editor and not in other windows like Projects, Navigator, Output, Debug.
How to change this font this everywhere in Netbeans 7.0
There is another method you can use for this.
Create a shortcut for the ide on the desktop.
Open the properties pane and in the target option where it is mentioned:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\bin\netbeans64.exe" just add --fontsize 18 to the end.
So, it is going to look like this:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\bin\netbeans64.exe" --fontsize 18
Apply the changes and restart the IDE. The new font size will be applied.
This goes for all kinds of Netbeans IDE no matter what the Version
You should find your answer here.
you might also want to change your font size for other parts of the IDE (other than the code).
Just add the parameter --fontsize (default size is 11) to the startup command.
You can put it into the command line when launching IDE. You can also put it into the netbeans.conf file, which is in the /etc subdirectory of NetBeans installation.
Just place it as a last parameter into the netbeans_default_options parameter.
Output and Debug font size you will find from Tools > Options > Miscellaneous
from the list select Output and change the font Size. Do the same thing for Terminal to solve the problem for Debugging.
Hope it helps you.
