How to make Intellij Idea Coverage display full colored lines?

Question

In Eclipse, most of the coverage plugins, display covered/partially covered/uncovered lines with different colors (i.e. the whole line painted with a color)

Answer 1

I found the solution to this problem here but I thought it would be better to create a specific, well-phrased question so that people having exactly the same problem as me can find it better in Google / StackOverflow.

In a nutshell, through Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General (or, at least from IntelliJ 2017.3 onwards, Editor -> Colors Scheme -> General)

you can customize the Colors & Fonts used for covered/partially covered/uncovered lines, modifying the background of the following entries:

• Full line coverage
• Partial line coverage
• Uncovered line

For example, I wanted to use the same default colors already provided but not only on the margin but on the whole line (similar to how Eclipse does it), so I disabled "Foreground" and enabled "Background". Voilà!

I think the UI has been updated the the way to get to this option has changed. While it is already mentioned by others, I'd like to elaborate with a more detailed image to make it easier to see.

Intellij > Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > General > Line Coverage >

There you will have three options.

• Full
• Partial
• Uncovered

Here is the menu option:

And here is what the question is specifically looking for:

Thanks for the update I fixed by uncovered lines in Intellij attached the screenshot for reference.

On the current apple version of IntelliJ you can find this under:

ItelliJIde > System Preferences > editor > Color Scheme > General

Then expand the arrow labeled Line Coverage
