IntelliJ IDEA Terminal brings his own colors from System?

Question

I configure my IDE to use the installed Git-Bash. Unfortunately both Terminals (Default the Windows CMD and the git-bash sh.exe) have that blue line-background-color. I've already changed the colors in the system native terminal windows. Also I tried to change the colors under (IntelliJ) Settings --> IDE Settings --> Editors --> Color & Fonts --> Console Colors. Nothing was working

Anybody have an idea?

Answer 1

It probably happened because you had customised your cmd.exe default colors. Resetting them back to default white text on black background fixed it for me under Idea too.

For immediate effect, you can try using color 07 command in terminal to set it to white text on black.

Answer 2

None of the other answers quite worked for me.

What did work is this:

(in Settings -> Tools -> Terminal -> Shell path)

"cmd.exe" /k color 07
