How do I install a color theme for IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.x

Question

I prefer dark backgrounds for coding, and I\'ve downloaded a jar file containing an IntelliJ IDEA color theme that has a dark background. How do I tell IntelliJ about it?

Answer 1

Like nearly everyone else said, go to file -> Import Settings.

But if you don't see the "Import Settings" option under the file menu, you need to disable 2 plugins : IDE Settings Sync and Settings Repository
