Menu
I'm evaluating the IntelliJ IDE. I changed some of the display/font setting (among other things) and would like to reset the UI back to default. Is there a simple way to reset the display UI back to its default settings?

From the main menu, select Window | Restore Default Layout or press Shift+F12 .
You can simply delete the whole configuration folder ${user. home}/. IntelliJIdea60/config while IntelliJ IDEA is not running. Next time it restarts, everything is restored from the default settings.
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. The built-in themes include Darcula, IntelliJ Light, Windows or macOS Light, and the special High Contrast theme for visually impaired users.
Change the UI themeIn the Settings/Preferences dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S ), select Appearance & Behavior | Appearance. Select the UI theme from the Theme list: IntelliJ Light: Traditional light theme for IntelliJ-based IDEs.

It depends on the OS:

On Mac OS for IntelliJ v12, shut down the IDE, and then you can execute:
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC12/* Restart the IDE, or open a pom.xml of your choosing. You will be asked whether you want to import the preferences from an existing IntelliJ instance. Select the "No, I do not have a previous IntelliJ version" radio button.
