I'm evaluating the IntelliJ IDE. I changed some of the display/font setting (among other things) and would like to reset the UI back to default. Is there a simple way to reset the display UI back to its default settings?
Recent Versions
Window -> Restore Default Layout
(Thanks to Seven4X's answer)
Older Versions
You can simply delete the whole configuration folder ${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea60/config while IntelliJ IDEA is not running. Next time it restarts, everything is restored from the default settings.
It depends on the OS:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108
On Mac OS for IntelliJ v12, shut down the IDE, and then you can execute:
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC12/*
Restart the IDE, or open a pom.xml of your choosing. You will be asked whether you want to import the preferences from an existing IntelliJ instance. Select the "No, I do not have a previous IntelliJ version" radio button.
You can delete IDEA configuration directory to reset everything to the defaults. If you want to reset the editor Colors&Fonts, then just switch the scheme to Default.
All above answers are correct, but you loose configuration settings.
But if your IDE's only themes or fonts are changed or some UI related issues and you want to restore to default theme, then just delete
${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea13/config/options/options.xml
file while IDE is not running, then after next restart IDE's theme will gets reset to default.
To switch between color schemes: Choose View -> Quick Switch Scheme on the main menu or press Ctrl+Back Quote
To bring back the old theme: Settings -> Appearance -> Theme
The existing answers are outdated. This is now doable from the menu:
Window -> Restore Default Layout (shift+f12)
Make sure nothing is currently running, as the Run/Debug window layout will not be reset otherwise.
From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.
Alternatively, press Shift twice and type Restore default settings
check, if this works for you.
File -> Settings -> (type appe in search box) and select Appearance -> Select Intellij from dropdown option of Theme on the right (under UI Options).
Hope this helps someone.

I can't seem to find my local changes in Intellij Idea's latest version (2020.1), as you can see in the image below. What am I missing here? The "Git" tab only shows the Git log.
To see the Local Changes tab you just need to uncheck the option "Use non-modal commit interface"
Local changes can be found under "Commit" tab.
Please read more on new features:
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/2020-1/#version-control
The alternative solution is: just a global search for Local Changes on IntelliJ Idea.
to bring the editor back to a close version of the previous (better) layout
view -> tool windows -> commit
on the git window that appears click the gear / settings icon

I have installed Material Theme UI and it made my IDE blackish. Later I decided to remove and and removed plugin. Unfortunately, this didn't give default colors back, some parts of IDE, for example Project pane, remained blackish.
How ro recover?
How to remove material theme from IntelliJ / PyCharm?
you can go to the Preferences->Plugins on the search bar, type Material UI
then press on the Uninstall button .
You should:
Go to Settings->Plugins and remove Material UI plugin
Switch to Default theme in Settings->Editor->Color Scheme
If it does not help (it happened to me) and you still have some colors/fonts from removed Material UI - looks like Material UI theme override some default colors. You should then close Intellij, go to Intellij config folder (on Windows it is C:/Users/<your username>/.IntellijIdeaXXXX.X/config) and remove this config folder and restart Intellij. It should show you a dialog window to import settings from previous version or use defaults (like when you install Intellij and make the first start). After that everything will be switched to default colors/fonts.
From the material-theme-jetbrains repo:
File Colors stuck after uninstallation The File Status Colors feature
is also a feature that sticks outside of the realm of the plugin as it
modifies the IDE itself. Therefore when uninstalling/disabling the
plugin the colors will stuck.
If you want to reset to the default colors, open the Settings at
Version Control -> File Status Colors in 2017.3+. In previous
versions, you will need to go to the config directory and delete the
_#user_Darcula.icls color scheme manually.
None of these worked for me as an acceptable solution. So here is what I figured out:
Go to plugins, uninstall Material UI.
Ensure colour scheme is Default/Darcula.
Restart Idea.
At this point most changes were back to default, but some things like colour of current tab, error highlights, modified files etc were still not back to usual. So I followed the advice of deleting config and things returned to normal. But with this option you lose everything, even the installed plugins. And worst thing was, I was using a settings repository to sync settings, few minutes later the colours were back! So I did a diff with older config directory and then a git log revealed that these files are the culprits.
Delete these 4 files from this path: .IntelliJIdea<version>/config/settingsRepository/repository/
colors/_#user_Darcula.icls
colors/_#user_Default.icls
material_custom_theme. xml
material_theme.xml
Then do a git commit and git push to ensure these are synced to your repository. And finally theme was back to normal!
Unfortunately whatever I was doing from the settings, I've couldn't get rid of that theme. So I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it again without material theme. Hope there will be better solution.
Tested with intellij 2018.3 go to settings->Type material then untick the material theme after that restart ide should fix the issue.
A tad brute force, but you could try and delete the theme directly.
Close IntelliJ
Go to: ..\JetBrains\themes
Delete Material UI
Open IntelliJ
Press Command + , (comma) (Shortcut to preferences) and search for material. Uninstall the material in plugins section.
Uninstall Material Theme UI plugin: Settings->Plugins
Delete colors from the config folder: C:\Users\User name\<.IdeaIC2018.2>\config\colors (don't remove the whole config folder because all the previous settings and tasks will be removed)
Delete material_theme file: C:\Users\User name\<.IdeaIC2018.2>\options\material_theme
If you are wondering how to do it in PHPStorm 2020.2 and above:
Settings (Alt + Ctrl + S) -> Plugins -> Uncheck the MaterialUI.
After unchecking, you would then be able to see an option to uninstall from the dropdown arrow found next to the install button.
2019 version File > Settings (or alt + f7 on windows), search for material theme ui
if you have the stupid accents persisting through uninstalling the plugin, deleting config files and so on the solution is under:
appearance and behavior > file colors > delete all of them
Another 2019 version (worked in my case):
open the settings editor (File->Settings)
search for Plugins page
inside the Plugins page, search for the Material UI plugin and uninstall it
search for Appearance & Behaviour->Appearance page
select the theme you prefer (IntelliJ or Darkula or High contrast). If your theme is already selected, chose another theme, apply the changes, than select back your preferred theme.
close IntelliJ (or PyCharm/WebStorm/etc)
open .IntelliJIdea<version>/config folder, usually it's in your home folder.
remove the following files:
material_theme.xml
colors/_#user_Darcula.icls or colors/_#user_Dafault.icls (beware: you may loose custom configurations you may have done)
Done.
This works for me in 2023.
Steps
Go to File --> Settings --> Plugins --> Go to "Installed" tab --> Search "Material Theme UI" --> Click on settings icon --> Click on "Uninstall" --> Click "Yes" in the dialog box --> Restart the IDE

Using IntelliJ I have some Run Configurations that are grayed out.
I can still run them but I can't find why they are grayed out.
A dimmed run configuration simply means it hasn't been saved. Technically called "temporary run configurations" by the IntelliJ manual:
Temporary configurations are marked with semi-transparent icons and are managed same way as the permanent configurations. By default, 5 temporary configurations are allowed per project. You can change this limit via the Edit Configurations dialog.
Saving (which makes the config permanent) can be done in either the "Run/Debug Configurations" menu (visible only when selected), or in the config selection dropdown in the general UI:
After saving, the configuration will move up to group with the reset of the saved configurations and will no longer be dimmed. As far as I can tell, you can have as many saved configs that you want.
To fix this:
Go to your project directory
Select a folder -> New -> Java Class -> Filename.java
Go to add configuration
Fill these fields like in the image:
I am trying to look at who changed a line in Intellij 15. I know I can use git blame but I want to learn how to do it correctly in intellij. I am right clicking on the line numbers on the file but when I get the context menu the annotate option is grayed out. What setting am I missing?
I looked at this page and couldn't find an answer. What am I missing?
If you check File > Settings > Version Control and see that your current project is listed under "Unregistered Roots", go to (on the menubar) VCS > Enable Version Control Integration. It will ask you to select the VCS tool you use, then click ok and you'll have all the integrations working (including the annotate feature which uses git blame).
The answer by #activedecay let me in the right direction. In my case, I have a multi-module project - each has a separate git repo - but we're all in the same workspace.
In my case, Intellij IDEA 2017.2, the Preferences -> Version Control (update from 2022: or Preferences > Version Control > Directory Mappings) panel shows a listing of all the project roots. The module with the disabled "Annotate" option was in the "Unregistered Roots" section.
To fix the problem, I selected the module and pressed the "+" icon in the lower toolbar to register the module root with Intellij VCS. The change is immediate and the "Annotate" options becomes available.
Looks like its a fresh project. First configure the Version Control like Git and than commit at least once. After first commit Annotate option will not be grayed out.
Also update git for any new version.
Your VCS is not enabled, hence the issue. Below is the solution for that:
Click on the VCS option in the menu bar
Enable VCS
Select your version control
Done, you should be able to use the annotate option.
Make sure the file is tracked by version control
Add the project to "Version Control" settings
I had the same issue with the Annotate being greyed out however VCS was already set up. Editing the current VCS Directory Mapping fixed the issue for me.
Go to
Settings -> Version Control
Click on the current entry for your
your application listed under projects.
Click the pen icon to edit it
Hit Ok, then ok to close the main dialog
Under the version control setting, make sure to remove any unregistered roots, I had a similar issue where there was a Unregistered roots entry was found, after removing this unwanted entry, I was able to annotate on file.
I the following two screen short will solve your problem:
1.
I hope after those steps you will be able to see who changed a line.
Here are the steps i followed :
Go to VCS -> Checkout from Version Control -> Git -> give the URL for your repository.
The annotate option will be enabled now.
I had exactly the same issue and managed to solve it by updating git.
The reason for that is that I have recent InteliJ Idea and an old 2.1.x git installed.
For Mac:
brew upgrade git
brew link git
followed by IDE restart.
Perhaps you did not check Git Integration while setting up a fresh installation of IntelliJ. It happened to me when I updated to a major release. When I was setting up the new program, I might have unchecked the Git Integration on the wizard installation.
In order to solve this for IntelliJ Community 2019.1, access File > Settings > Plugins, go to the tab Installed and make sure the plugin Git Integration is checked. You should restart the IDE in order to make the Annotate action work.
I had the same issue, but my VCS settings were all configured properly. It turns out that git itself was considering the file as a brand new file and therefore didn't have any history for it. The file was actually not new, but simply renamed. While my rename changes were unstaged, git understood it as two separate files: a deletion of the old file and creation of a new file. However, once I git added the "deleted" file and the "new" file, git understood that it was actually a rename and IntelliJ was able to annotate on the file as expected.
I'm not sure why git didn't understand the rename when it was unstaged, but hopefully this helps someone!
So we have a large project and I use the intellij navigate to file cntrl+shift+n all the time. I don't know what happened but now when I try and use it - it can't find anything. I haven't recently installed any plugins or anything.
I've restarted intellij a couple times, checked the little filter icon to make sure I'm not filtering on anything...nothing seems to be working. Any ideas what I need to do to get it working again?
Try 11.1.2 build and File | Invalidate Caches. If it doesn't help, contact JetBrains support with a sample project to reproduce it.
Also try to verify if some plugins are updated, and disable them to try if some of them is the problem.
In my case it was:
Apache config (.htaccess) support Version 131.61
Make sure your keymap is set to Default. You may be using different keymap, so go to File > Setting and search for Keymap. You can change it there.
When you press Ctrl+Shift+N the Find Window will pop up, check the filter icon (on top right of the Find Window) on the search box and ensure that the file type you are looking for is checked.
For me restarting the Webstorm with the project folder again sorted it out.
File -> New -> Project
Just restarting it kept the go to file source pointed to the Webstorm app directory.
I program in rust.
So for me installing the missing rust plug-in solved it.
I deleted the project and then reimported it using maven(right corner of IDE) -> plus icon to add project again
What helped me was to run an update (Help > Check for updates) and update what was needed (2 plugins)
