PhpStorm - how to display "connecting lines" between files and folders?

Question

Some of JetBrains's IDE's have lines between the file and folders in the "Project" sidebar, which is helpful for showing the file folder hierarchy.

• Here is how my PhpStorm file explorer currently looks: File Explorer
• Here is how I want it to look: File explorer sidebar with lines between files and folders

Note: I cant post image - not enough rep points.

Is it possible to do this in PhpStorm? I'm using PhpStorm 8.0.3 on Ubuntu.

Answer 1

1. Such "lines" are part of the GUI Theme (also known as Look & Feel in Java applications).

2. You are using Darcula GUI Theme that does not support drawing such lines.

3. Your only option -- choose another GUI Theme at Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Appearance & Behaviour | Appearance --> Theme.

   Problem 1: It will be light theme as Darcula is the only one dark theme.

   Problem 2: I'm not sure if there is a theme for Linux version of PhpStorm that supports such lines (I'm a Windows user -- here "Windows" theme supports such lines). If there is none .. then you are out of luck...
