Change IntelliJ IDEA left border background color

I have IntelliJ IDEA 12 and something weird is happening when I load custom font color themes like SonOfObsidian https://gist.github.com/palaniraja/2097581.

The left border displaying the line numbers is white, it is ugly with the dark UI color theme "Darkcula". So I checked the settings to find a way to change this color and I can't find it anywhere.

Unfortunately I can't post an image showing how it looks (low reputation.)

Anyone have an idea ?

By default, IntelliJ IDEA uses the Darcula theme, unless you changed it during the first run. This is no secret. To change it, open the Settings / Preferences dialog and select Appearance & Behavior | Appearance. There, you can use the Theme selector to choose a UI theme.

Extreme Coders is almost right. But for IntelliJ IDEA 12, JetBrains seems to have renamed the color property (I remember looking for this one myself, for quite a while...).

The color is still found under:

  Editor > Colors & Fonts > General

The name of the color property you are looking for is Gutter background.

For those who cannot find the option in recent versions (IntelliJ IDEA 2018 and Android Studio 3), here is the exact path:

 Editor > Color Scheme > General > Editor > Gutter background

Hope it helps.
