IntelliJ Black Color Scheme

by Ruben on December 27, 2008

I use IntelliJ for most of my development needs. I find it’s a much better IDE than Eclipse (except for the number of plugins). I recently felt like customizing it and changing the default color scheme to something with a black background so I did a quick Google search to see what I could find.

Unfortunately, I had little luck on the search. And that’s why I spent a some time creating an IntelliJ color scheme with a black background. I’ve been doing a lot of Grails development lately so this scheme also includes Groovy and GSP files.

You can download the XML file here:

Maybe you know where can download other black-background schemes?

Not sure, I had a tough time finding them. But I’m sure I can retrieve the one I created and place it back up here… I’ll do that tomorrow night!

If you find this black color scheme, hook us up please!

In the mean time, i did find this color scheme using the old Borland C dark blue background:

Thanks! I can’t find it unfortunately but I’ll take another look on my old server in case I missed it.
