Turn off background color for SQL strings in PHP Storm

Question

is it possible to turn off background highlighting for SQL strings in PHP Storm ? I know I can turn off SQL language injection, but i would rather keep SQL syntax highlighting and just get rid of irritating background colors. Is it possible ?

Answer 1

Go to File -> Settings and then to Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General. Click 'Injected language fragment' and simply untick the Background checkbox.

Answer 2

2 possible colors :

• #52503A (gold/dark yellow) : color code for "Warning" because no Database is set. Go to View/Tool Windows/Database. Then click the "+" button to add a database and click many buttons up to the end.
• #364135 (khaki/green) : color code for "Injected language fragment". Go to Settings/Editor/Colors & Fonts/General/Injected language fragment and change background color.
  For instance you can set a slightly darker color from the original background for PHP. For Darcula theme base, I used #1A1C1C as a darker color.

There may be more cases but these are the two I encoutered.

Answer 3

when sql dialect is not configured, sql strings glow in a annoying yellow. You have to set sql dialect for the file or project.

Go to File/Settings/Languages & Frameworks/SQL Dialects and then select your desired dialect. If you choose the root folder, you will be asked if you want to apply it to all files.

After that you can set the color for injected language fragment as explained by @chocochaos
