Copied repositories - parallel but the same projects on different screens - IJ appearance is global setting
Answered
Hi,
I am forced to work in parallel on the same repository in git.
Since this is not possible I have simply copied the whole intelliJ project like: c:\git\myproject1 & c:\git\myproject2
Now, since on first screen I have project1 and on second screen I have project2 (which are the same in fact but on different branches), the question is - how to change the appearance in these two separately? The reason is I do not want to make a mistake during coding - put a change in improper branch, both IntelliJs look the same.
I tried with Appearance settings and seems for me this is a global change - changed in one IJ window, changes second as well.
Please advise how can I "visually" adapt it to know where I am...
Thanks,

Hi, have a look at "Background Image". This one has a "per project" setting. See if this helps.
Resolved, thanks.
You can also use Scopes and colors to change file tab colors and/or background file colors per project.
@jnowakoski solved? How?

I must check "You can also use Scopes and colors to change file tab colors and/or background file colors per project" as well...
