IDEA so set, good to see the explosion!! # 01
In today’s episode, we are going to share some tips for beautifying your IDEA to make it stand out from the rest.
First let’s take a look at the default Settings of IDEA. Although they are not ugly, they are too monotonous.
Next, let’s take a look at the polished interface and see if it looks much better overall than the default.
All right, without further ado, let’s move on to setup.
All the Settings of IDEA today have been summarized here. You can take a look at this mind map.
The theme
First we set IDEA theme.
The IDEA comes with two themes, one is a light theme, one is a dark theme.
Well, obviously these two don’t meet our needs, so we need to download other themes.
The IDEA plug-in warehouse actually provides many theme plug-ins, that some partners may not know how to find these theme plug-ins.
So here’s a little trick.
Open IDEA setting-plugins and type /tag:Theme in the search box
At this point, the search results here will show all the themes of the plug-in, you can install according to their favorite.
Here are two themes I recommend:
- Gradianto
- Material Theme UI
Gradianto
This plugin mainly provides themes related to dark mode. One advantage of this theme is that it can protect your eyes, and the glasses are not very sour when you look at them for a long time.
There are four main themes in this plug-in, which are:
Nature Green
Deep Ocean
Dark Fuchsia
Midnight Blue
Material Theme UI
The above plug-in only provides several themes, while the following plug-in has complete functions. It can not only set themes, but also set other UI of IDEA.
Once installed, the plugin will pop up a Settings window:
This setting is relatively simple, I won’t go into details here, you can choose your own Settings.
So here, if you accidentally turn it off, it doesn’t matter, we can go in from Setting, search for Material, and we can find it.
This setup place, first we choose their favorite theme.
I personally like Atom One Dark and recommend you to try it.
So, number two, set the size of the Tab, set the height and all that.
The Tab here refers to the Tab page in the upper window
The second is to set the highlight color of the TAB. When the TAB is selected, the highlight color is displayed below the TAB.
Third, set the Compact option.
So this option, the main thing is to reduce the height of the UI so that it looks a little bit more compact.
The third setting option, the Components option.
icon
IDEA comes with a file icon by default, such as this one for poM.
But many other types of files don’t have this icon.
We can extend these file Icons by downloading and installing Atom Material Icons.
This plugin supports many different types of files.
It also supports setting folder ICONS.
After the plug-in is installed, go to the Setting-Atom Material Icons Setting option and you can see several options.
The Enable File Icons and Enable Directory Icons options mainly set up the File Icons described above.
So Enable UI Icons, this setting option is this row of UI Icons down here.
Finally, it is not recommended that you open the Enable PSI Icons option, because when you open them, the Icons of Java files will look like this and will not be easy to distinguish.
The font
There are two recommended fonts for programmers:
- Fira Code
- JetBrains Mono
Fira Code can be downloaded from:
Github.com/tonsky/Fira…
JetBrains Mono is such a hassle, and the new IDEA comes with it.
Why is it programmer fonts?
That’s because both fonts add an important feature, the ligatures feature.
This font takes advantage of this feature to optimize common symbols in programming, such as displaying the input “!= “as” ≠ “or changing” >= “to” ≥ “to improve code readability.
In Fira Code, for example, programming hyphenation is turned on on the left and not on the right.
After the Font is installed, open the IDEA setting-font Setting option, select the Fira Code Font or JetBrains Mono Font, and select Enable Ligatures.
In addition, the Theme of the Above Material Theme UI is configured with a small font by default. We can adjust the font size appropriately here.
background
IDEA By default, the background is pure color, such as black, which is relatively monotonous. Here, we can set the background image.
Go to Setting-Appearance and click the Background Image button.
Background setting window is as follows:
other
Finally, Rainbow Brackets is introduced.
The main function of this plugin is to display parentheses in a variety of bright colors. If we have a lot of parentheses, then it’s easy to distinguish the parenthesis pairing problem.
