7/10/2023 0 Comments All webstorm themes are grey![]() ![]() I wanted to keep this article short and just share with you my experience of using WebStorm. These are just some of the things that I like about WebStorm. It is just an example of the Refactor feature. Well, I know, if you are reading this you are looking for some reasons more interesting than a theme, I just wanted to say that I love this theme for coding Rename and it will rename your variable in all the places you're using it and the most important thing is that it won't open all the files where you're using it like VsCode does. The first thing that I saw was that beautiful Darcula theme that I love so much, I actually had tried to find something similar for VsCode but I had not found anything so beautiful. After 1 hour trying to set up my VsCode environment I remembered that I wanted to test WebStorm so I thought this was the perfect moment. The first reason why I decided to start using WebStorm is because I changed my computer, and as a developer with a lot of work I needed to start coding as fast as I could, so I downloaded VsCode because that was the editor which I used to use, then I realised that I did not have all my plugins that I had in my previous computer (obviously) and I did not even remember their names, it was very frustrating. ![]() I just want to share with you why I decided to move to WebStorm and why I'm still using it and maybe you could consider using it too!. I didnt' go through all the themes There could be others with the same problem.I want to start saying that I'm not trying to claim that WebStorm is better than VsCode and it is because I think that someone can feel more comfortable in VsCode rather than WebStorm or even in another tool, like Vim, Sublime Text, whatever. Or at the very least, please to fix Alloy IDEA Theme which seems to be the worst off for this change. The difference between in-focus and out-focus should be more subtle than the difference between active and non-active. The non-active tabs should always be darker than the active one, whether it is in-focus or out-of-focus. If you must have this behavior, then I suggest you rethink the three colors being used for active infocus tab, active out-of-focus tab, and non-active tabs. make active tab a little lighter and/or make the non-active tabs a little darker. My suggestion is to go back to 7.04 tab colors, don't flip the color when the editor loses focus, and look into increasing contrast between active tab and non-active tabs, i.e. While the behavior may be technically correct in showing how the editor temporarily gives up focus while the menubar has it, only to regain focus after you are done clicking Edit->Copy or whatever, it is just kind of pointless, and is creating a distraction to the eye.Īlso, over remote desktop, flipping the tab color is costing me a few more milliseconds of my time now everytime I click out of the editor. ![]() I"m trying to imagine if some other application like Firefox works like this. Now the active tab changes colors when doing all kinds of things - even accessing the menu bar changes the tab color, which seems ridiculous. I never had an issue before except for the lack of contrast between the active and non-active tabs noted above. Firefox does have slightly more contrast between the lighter shade for the active editor tab and the darker shade for the non-active tabs, which I think helps make the active tab stand out better.Ĭhanging the color to reflect the editor's focus state seems to be solving a problem that no one every had. In 7.04 IDEA editor tabs look very similar to Firefox's tabs on windows. In 7.04, the active tab is always colored lighter shade than non-active tabs. The problem sticks out more with "Alloy IDEA Theme" because it is almost greyscale so color is eliminated from the equation. My back thanks you for this change.Įven for the "Allow Default Theme" and "Alloy Glass Theme", it looks odd to me because on those, when the editor doesn't have the focus, the active tab is almost white, lighter than the non-active tabs, but when the editor has focus, the active tab is bright color, darker than the non-active tabs. On my LCD screen I keep the brightness down low and it is actually hard for me to read the tab text when I'm slouching in my chair Ok, maybe this will encourage me to situp straight with my eyes perpendicular to my LCD at all times. This color change seems non-intuitive I really do not like black text on dark grey for my active editor tab. I just tried a few of the other themes like "Alloy Default Theme" and "Alloy Glass Theme" and those don't look as bad because the active color is bright color. ![]() If the editor pane loses focus, then the active tab is colored a lighter shade than the non-active tabs. When the editor pane is in focus, the active tab is colored grey. The first thing I noticed about Diana was my editor tabs look funny. ![]()
