Pitch-Black Theme on any JetBrains IDE

Installing multiple themes on a JetBrains IDE to have a pitch-black theme is possible. Why bother with additional installations when you can achieve this look with the default settings? In the following guide, I’ll walk you through the process of achieving the pitch-black theme on your JetBrains IDE.

The first step involves setting your IDE to a high-contrast theme, which is crucial as it turns about 90% of the user interface to pitch-black. Here’s how you do it:

1. Open the Settings
2. Navigate to ‘Appearance & Behavior’ > ‘Appearance’
3. Select the High Contrast theme

With the majority of the interface now pitch-black, the next step is to adjust the editor’s background to complete the look. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Return to the Settings.
2. Go to ‘Editor’ > ‘Color Scheme’ > ‘General’.
3. On the right side, find ‘Text’ and then ‘Default Text’.
4. Change the Background color to 000000 (pure black).

And there you have it! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll enjoy a sleek, pitch-black theme on your JetBrains IDE without the need for additional theme installations.
