I want to change the look and feel of entire Webstorm editor. How can I add more themes in the Appearance section?
As of now it lists only 2 option, Default and Darcula.
The 'Theme' dropdown in your snapshot actually refers to Look & Feel
in the Intellij/Webstorm parlance. This is also seen if you try doing a View -> Quick Switch Scheme
:
Notice that the options in the above correspond to the 'Themes' dropdown in your snapshot.
I would imagine that creating a new Look&Feel would be a non-trivial task. This is somewhat substantiated by https://stackoverflow.com/a/27864988/325742:
Write a plug-in to add a new LAF. Keep in mind this is a lot of work. It took the JetBrains team a year to develop the Darcula L&F and that was with dedicated graphic artists to create a whole suite of icons and recommend color combinations. Since the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition is open source, you could use that source code to develop your plug-in. I'm pretty sure Darcula is available in the community edition.
Therefore, you may not find a lot of stuff out there that change the whole Look and Feel of a Jetbrains product (like IntelliJ or WebStorm).
However, the best place to look for it would be in the plugins section. Therefore:
Note that, the complete appearance of Intellij changed when I installed this, however the plugins (I tried Material Theme UI) did not appear in the dropdown list.
This is just an editor color scheme and not a full fledged L&F plugin.
Download a color theme from there, then go to File -> Import Settings
and choose the downloaded file after which you should see the following:
Finally, restart Webstorm:
