Settings/Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Rainbow Brackets:
If you didn't like the build-in colors, or want some new color but don't want to try out and pick colors. Please use color generator.
Settings/Preferences > Other Settings > Rainbow Brackets > Use color generator
If you turn on this option, we will auto generate some colors for you.
If you need more control, you can decide the options of color generator by edit the config file,
The value of the option customColorGeneratorOption
is a json object, available options are:
hue
– Controls the hue of the generated color. You can pass a string representing a color name: red
, orange
, yellow
, green
, blue
, purple
, pink
and monochrome
are currently supported. If you pass a hexidecimal color string such as #00FFFF
, color generator will extract its hue value and use that to generate colors.
luminosity
– Controls the luminosity of the generated color. You can specify a string containing bright
, light
or dark
.
Please make sure the value of the option customColorGeneratorOption
is escaped in xml format,
you can use this tool to do this. Please don't forget to restart your IDE after change the config file.
<application>
<component name="RainbowSettings">
<option name="useColorGenerator" value="true" />
<option name="customColorGeneratorOption" value="{"luminosity": "light","hue": "blue"}"/>
</component>
</application>
Settings/Preferences > Other Settings > Rainbow Brackets > Number of colors
: 5 or more
And you can use the color generator and config you number of colors at the same time.
NOTE: For default and darcula color scheme(Editor -> Color Scheme -> Rainbow Brackets -> Scheme
) the color number is 10, for the other scheme the number is 5, if your number is bigger than the number, you can config them in the config file.
If the color is not exist, we will use color generator to generator it for you.
Please follow the official guide:
Export a color scheme as XML
- Edit the xml file, put
ROUND_BRACKETS_RAINBOW_COLOR5
toROUND_BRACKETS_RAINBOW_COLOR100
to match your number just like the default color scheme. Import a color scheme
If you want to customize the advanced configuration, you could edit the config file then restart your IDE.
Config file path in APP_CONFIG/rainbow_brackets.xml
.
In MAC OS env maybe like ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2020.2/options/rainbow_brackets.xml
.
If you are using the ToolBox, then it will be like ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.2/options/rainbow_brackets.xml
In Linux env maybe like ~/.IntelliJIdea/config/options/rainbow_brackets.xml
.
In Windows env maybe like C:\Users\izhangzhihao\.IntelliJIdea2020.2\config\options\rainbow_brackets.xml
.
To enable rainbow brackets for HTML inside js code like this:
var html = '<div><div><div>Hello</div></div></div>';
This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "HTML_CODE" cause our rainbow color been covered by intellij built-in functionality.
You still could set <option name="rainbowifyHTMLInsideJS" value="false" />
in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.
To enable rainbow brackets for multiple level lambda Kotlin code like this:
event.throwable?.let { throwable ->
IdeErrorsDialog.findPluginId(throwable)?.let { pluginId ->
PluginManager.getPlugin(pluginId)?.let { ideaPluginDescriptor ->
if (!ideaPluginDescriptor.isBundled) {
bean.pluginName = ideaPluginDescriptor.name
bean.pluginVersion = ideaPluginDescriptor.version
}
}
}
}
This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "KOTLIN_FUNCTION_LITERAL_BRACES_AND_ARROW" cause our rainbow color is being covered by kotlin plugin built-in functionality.
You still could set <option name="rainbowifyKotlinFunctionLiteralBracesAndArrow" value="false" />
in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.
If you want to disable rainbow brackets for javascript languages and java languages, you could set languageBlacklist
property in config file just like:
<application>
<component name="RainbowSettings">
<option name="languageBlacklist">
<array>
<option value="java" />
<option value="javascript" />
</array>
</option>
</component>
</application>
NOTE: You can use name of language or extension of file name(The names should be lowercase).
NOTE: To view the PSI tree and explore the internal structure of source code, you need to set up your IDE by follow this. For the Rider IDE, please follow: this
For small changes, Gitpod is recommended.
gradle test
gradle runIde
gradle buildPlugin
