IntelliJ IDEA is a powerful Java IDE written by JetBrains. It comes with a dark UI theme called Darcula along with its own editor scheme as seen in the following screenshot:

Darcula can begin to feel bland at times if you use the IDE often, so I searched for another dark UI theme and discovered Material Theme. Its default theme along with its own editor scheme offers a selective contrast similar to the widely known Solarized editor scheme. It also comes with a darker and lighter version of Material Theme that you can switch to.

Additionally, Material Theme supports JetBrain’s other products, including PyStorm, PhpStorm, and WebStorm to name a few. I use PhpStorm as my PHP IDE of choice and I combine Material Theme with an editor scheme inspired by Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2015 with tweaks to the font style and line number color.
