PhpStorm input dialog color

Some dialog windows of PhpStorm are using a black color to text and over a black background sometimes is hard to read.

Can I change the color of these inputs using some settings?

Solution

  • "EDIT: The behaviour can be simulated selecting the theme Darcula and the scheme Default"

    It is expected behavior in your case -- you are trying to use dark GUI Theme (Darcula) with light Color Schema (Editor area colors) which meant to work with light GUI Themes.

    But yes -- such color is possible to change.

    1. Settings/Preferences
    2. Editor | Colors & Fonts | General
    3. Text | Default Text
    4. Change/Assign desired color to Foreground styling option

    Changing colors:

    Actual result:

    P.S. I've used Darcula GUI Theme + Default Color Schema.

    It's possible that you may need to restart IDE for other combinations.
