base16-jetbrains-ide

This repository contains Base16 themes for Jetbrains IDEs. Unlike base16-jetbrains, this repository contains themes for the entire IDE. This template was made from the Monokai Pro theme.

Installation

  1. Download the .jar file for your theme from themes/
  2. In IntelliJ (or another Jetbrains IDE), Go to File > Settings > Plugins
  3. At the top, there should be a marketplace tab, an installed tab, and three dots, click on the three dots
  4. Click Install Plugin from Disk...
  5. Navigate to the .jar file and install it
  6. Restart your IDE
  7. Select your new theme from File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance > Theme!

Compiling

The text files in editor-themes/ and ide-themes/ actually specify what the themes are, but unfortunately, IntelliJ won't allow us to upload the IDE themes directly, so we need to compile them into .jar files. Surprisingly, IntelliJ's theme .jar files are actually just renamed .zip files, so we don't even need Java to compile the themes! All you need is the zip command. Simply run build.sh and it will compile every theme properly. You may want to update the themes though in case any new ones got added or updated since I last compiled them. For that, you'll need to use a Base16 Builder.

You could also create an IntelliJ project with it and compile it straight from IntelliJ. For that, follow Creating Custom UI Themes and Deploying a Plugin. An example is available at base16-jetbrains-ide-monokai (also available as a plugin from the marketplace).
