Solarized Colorscheme for IntelliJ IDEA
Original Solarized color scheme developed by Ethan Schoonover es@ethanschoonover.com
Adapted for IntelliJ IDEA by:

Johan Kaving johan@kaving.se
Visit the Solarized homepage
See the Solarized homepage for screenshots,
details and color scheme versions for Vim, Mutt, popular terminal emulators and
other applications. These versions can also be found in the main Solarized repository
on GitHub.
Unfortunately the IntelliJ subtree in the main repository has not been updated and is out-of-sync with this
repository.
For IntelliJ this IntelliJ-only repository is therefore recommended over the main repository.
Status
These color scheme files are primarily tested with the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.
They might work with other versions of IntelliJ IDEA as well as other JetBrains tools
(e.g. PhpStorm and PyCharm).
This table lists the languages (and other sections under Preferences, Editor, Colors & Fonts)
for which the syntax highlighting has been adapted to the Solarized color scheme:

Darcula
Depending on the Look and Feel that you use the background
color for editor tabs will be different. The default L&F has a light gray
background, while the Darcula L&F has a dark background.
It is hard to find colors that work equally well on both light and dark backgrounds,
and therefore the settings.jar file contains Darcula versions of the color schemes.
The only difference from the regular versions is that these color schemes inherit
their default colors from the Darcula theme rather than from Default.
Note About Fonts
Unfortunately, font settings are included in the color settings files.
You should probably modify these in Preferences, Editor, Colors & Fonts, Font
after adding the color schemes to your IntelliJ IDEA installation.
Note About Committing Changes
If you want to commit updates to the ICLS color scheme files, make sure to run the buildjar.sh script before committing to generate
an updated settings.jar file as well.
The script has been tested on OS X, on other operating systems you're on your own.
