If I change the code the color will disappear, I do not know how does this happen.and when do we will use this features.
It looks like you accidentally pressed the Coverage button instead of the Run or Debug button next to it.
To remove the red background color do the following: in the Coverage view click the Remove Active Session or Remove All Sessions button.
For information on what this Coverage does and what it is used for, see the EclEmma web site.
This is activated because of code coverage. If you want to remove it then follow these steps.
Go to "Windows -> Show View -> Coverage" Select it. Click on "Open".
Open the "Coverage" view.
There are "X" and "XX" signs at upper right side.
Click on one of them as per your requirement to remove the coverage session.
Refer the screenshot for more details.
Is there a shortcut or option in eclipse that will perform the opposite of tab. I can select a bunch of lines and if i do control tab, all of those lines will be tabbed over. Is there a control option that I can do to do the opposite of that? Is there a shortcut to get all of your code to line up? I looked on http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Eclipse.html but didn't find anything. It's a hassle to go to each line and hit back a bunch of times....
Use Shift+Tab to move selected lines to the left.
You could also use Ctrl+Shift+F to format the whole file.
I installed the community edition of Intellij-IDEA 13 and I lost the tool window buttons on the right, left and bottom. Here's an image of the buttons on the right in Intellij-IDEA 12:
What happened to these? I can get them to pop up by going to View -> Tool Windows -> <Pick One>, but if I close them, I have to go back to the menu to get it to pop up. This isn't that big of a deal because there are also short cuts attached to some of them. But, I use the "Maven" one frequently, and there's no shortcut attached for that one.
Were these tool window buttons replaced with something better that I haven't discovered yet? If not, is there a way to get these buttons back?
Such buttons are invisible by default from left and right side. Click here if you want make them visible: And click again and they will disappear.
Maybe this will help:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/intellij-idea-tool-windows.html
There's a button that will bring them right up without resorting to the menu selection.
Whilst the tool window buttons are not visible, you can double-tab alt to see them temporarily (the 3 borders containing them pop up), and whilst still holding down alt you can hit the relevant key (e.g. 1 for Project) to choose one.
Similarly, you can use ctrl-tab and a number to focus a tool window.
I commonly have tool windows visible on my desktop pc and not visible on my laptop (where screen space is limited).
I've seen few people use it like that and Im struggling with figuring: how can i move the navigation of my open files inside NetBeans IDE to be navigating through a tool bar on the side.
In other words, instead of navigating between files horizontally (just like in the browser), i want the tabs to be displayed on my right on NetBeans.
Any chance someone could explain?
Thanks in advance.
You want to put the window tabs to the right side?
At Tools|Options|Misc|Windows set "Tab placement" to "right"
See also https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/upcoming_netbeans_feature_multi_row
In Netbeans 8 the tab placement options are in Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Document Tabs -> Tab placement.
Hey am not pretty sure about the Netbeans. If you see in the eclipse there is an short cut ctrl+f6 in order to change the you can directly go to editor settings and then you can change it to what ever you want.
If you come to net beans i saw in one of the post they mentioned ctrl+tab try to look this link it might help you.
Thanks,
I've changed the color scheme in intellij so that the background of the Java editor pane is dark and the text is light. I'm not sure if this is directly related, however, in other windows such as the 'run' window, the background stays white but any system messages are displayed as white text. This is obviously a problem as I can't read white text on a white background unless I manually highlight the text to have the background a different color.
Is there a way to change the background color of other panes other than the editor pane in IntelliJ?
I believe if you restart IntelliJ, it will update the background of all panes (tool windows).
If you are having trouble to revert back to light frames, there is a way to do that.
Locate the your IntelliJ settings folder (on Windows, it is typically C:\Users\{username}\.IdeaIC12\, on Mac, it is something like ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea13/options. Of course you have to select the appropriate IntelliJ folder)).
Go to the folder config\options\.
Edit the file options.xml.
Delete these lines:
<component name="LafManager">
<laf class-name="idea.dark.laf.classname" />
</component>
Done.
** Edit ** As of Intelli-J Idea 12, Dark is the default! See my points below for versions 10/11
There is a way now - install the 'patch-ide' plugin in combination with the 'color-ide' plugin, and you will get your background colors across all the other panes and throughout the preferences of the application. If you just want to style your project tree also, use 'color-tree'
http://plugins.jetbrains.net/category/index?pr=webide&category_id=25
As a side note, here is an excellent dark color scheme, BlueForest
http://www.decodified.com/misc/2011/06/15/blueforest-a-dark-color-scheme-for-intellij-idea.html
How about this way.
File->Settings->Editor->Color & Fonts->General->Default text
Choose other color
then
Click the "Apply" button.
On Mac Ox and Idea 14 after changing back to Default theme you should also modify
~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea14/options/laf.xml
and change
<laf class-name="com.intellij.ide.ui.laf.darcula.DarculaLaf" />
to
<laf class-name="com.apple.laf.AquaLookAndFeel" />
I found a solution:
Go to view -> Quick switch Scheme.... and change option 5. Look and feel to Dracula
Here's the latest 2016 that worked for me. I had changed the white background for editors but all the panes were still black. Selecting Quick Switch Scheme -> Look and feel -> default option - solved it for me, i.e. white panes.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.1/switching-between-schemes.html
For all using intellij IDEA 15
if the problem is inconsistent colors in different panes try this :
View -> Quick Switch Schemes - Look and Feel -> Intellij (Note : not same as default)
Problem might be that you said yes to 'set Dracula theme to be the default' earlier when changing to dracula from white theme.
I've managed to get everything with a black background + a nice skull wallpaper.
https://github.com/phackwer/DarkKnight_IntelliJ
I usually disable Tool Buttons, Tool Bar and Status Bar on the View Menu and also run the project on Full Screen mode. Looks sensational!
You can change the wallpaper to a different one by pressing shift twice and looking for Set Background Image.
There does not seem to be a way. I'll either have to revert my color scheme back to the default, keep the white on white text in the 'run' pane or convince my work to get me a mac so i can use the magic key combination to invert all colors on the screen!
I like to play around with different themes and installed a bunch of them. After a while when I switched back to IntelliJ Light, this happened -
The opened files bar in editor couldn't retrieve its default colors. I tried -
Switching between themes (View -> Quick switch scheme -> Theme -> Selecting another one
Restart the IDE
Finally I did this - Files -> Settings -> Plugins -> And disabled all installed themes and restart
And voila!
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation :)
Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts
Set "Scheme" to "Default".
Helps instantly, without restart
