The following features introduce themes to modernize the IDE appearance and improve method readability.

Flat-style UI themes
The IDE supports a modern flat-style user interface through themes:
-
Flat Design Dark -- A flat UI style with dark backgrounds and light text, designed to reduce eye strain in low-light environments and provide a modern look.
-
Flat Design Light -- A flat UI style with light backgrounds and dark text, offering a clean, traditional appearance suitable for bright environments.
-
Flat Design Orange -- A flat UI style with an orange color scheme, offering a warm and inviting feel, with clear contrast between different elements.
-
Do not use theme -- The classic UI style that was used in the previous versions.
You can switch themes from the Tools menu > System Options menu > Switch IDE Theme option.
When you switch between "Do not use theme" and "Flat Design xxx", you will need to restart IDE for the selected option to take effect; when you switch between "Flat Design xxx", the selected theme will take effect immediately without needing to restart IDE.
You can customize the syntax colors (such as function, variable, keyword etc.) of the selected theme in the Design menu > Options menu > Coloring tab page.
