What is IntelliJ Idea?
The IntelliJ IDEA (Community Edition) IDE comes with two preset themes, Light and Darcula. However, they can get bland rather quickly. Thus, below are two ways to change the color of your IntelliJ editor to add a splash of color to your coding experience!
Easy Installation
Go to your IDE's settings, select Plugins -> Browse Repositories... search for and install 'Rainglow Color Schemes'. Restart your IDE, and the themes will be available within the Colour Schemes drop down within the settings dialog. Enjoy!
Semi-Manual Installation
Navigate to the Plugins section of your IDE's settings dialog, and choose to install a plugin from disk. Install using the rainglow.jar file from the repository. Restart your IDE, and the themes will be available within the Colour Schemes drop down within the settings dialog. Enjoy!
Full-Manual Installation
Navigate to the editor colors section of your editors settings and import any of the XML files from the colors directory within this repository. Note: Some versions of JetBrains IDE's require you to rename the .xml files to .icls files before import. Enjoy!
Notes
JetBrains IDE's are a little painful to theme due to the amount of flexibility and language support they have. These color schemes will not look exactly like the themes for Sublime or jetbrains. Instead, I've found the best theme layout possible within JetBrains rendering ability.
Useful Information
This project is an evolution of my colour schemes project found at https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes. Peacock was the first ever theme. I created it to try and find something to use other than Monokai. It's now a favourite for many users!

I downloaded Material_Theme.zip but I do not know how do I install it in PyCharm. Somehow I could not find instructions in GitHub.
mallowigi commented on Jan 9, 2017
There is an option "Install plugin from disk" in the Plugins section in the settings.
Soldalma commented on Jan 9, 2017
Elior, many thanks for your suggestions. I was able to install the plugin, and PyCharm restarted with the Material Theme. Later I changed back to another theme and could not go back to the Material Theme as it did not appear under Settings/Appearance and Behavior/Appearance Theme. The Theme dropdown menu displayed the same themes as before.
mallowigi commented on Jan 9, 2017
Yes, this is because the Material Theme is based on the Darcula theme by overriding most of its settings. Unfortunately switching back to Darcula reloads the original Darcula theme.
Soldalma commented on Jan 9, 2017
Ok, I actually reinstalled it. Is there a way to change the colors? My eyes are not very good and I need a blacker background. You mentioned a "Color Scheme" section but I cannot find it. Cheers, FS
mallowigi commented on Jan 9, 2017
Settings > Editor > Colors and Fonts. You can click on "Save as" next to the Scheme, so you can edit the colors at your leisure.
Soldalma commented on Jan 10, 2017
Thanks. I am familiar with that menu and I have created my own theme for the editor. However, the changes only apply to the editor and I would like to have the changes applied to the application itself. There is another menu at Settings/Appearance and Behavior/Appearance that lets one change the application theme.
