Hyperlink font/color in Run Console output
Answered
I know all about customizing the console fonts and colors; including using the Grep Console plugin.
Also, I can happily customize colors for almost anything inside the Run console (including when running unit tests).
However, I have been unable to find a way to change the color for the "clickable hyperlinks" (e.g., pointing back to the code in a stacktrace): even changing ANSI blue and bright blue mapping yields nothing.
As I'm using a dark blue background, it makes reading the light blue hyperlinks exceedingly difficult, and I'd like to make them contrast better: is there a way to customize that?
Thanks.

Did you try the general hyperlink
colors?
Thanks, Serge!
That worked great, even though, I must confess it's less intuitive than almost anything else in IntelliJ - also, clicking on the Apply button, does not seem to actually apply them, one has to re-run the tests (or whatever).
At any rate, I was able to modify it in a way that works reasonably well, so that was great, thanks for the suggestion!
The one gotcha is that doing so impacts the "reference hyperlinks" when Cmd-clicking on classes etc. in the code editor - where I have a light background; so that's a tricky balance to keep: given that one is allowed to change the background of the console and the editor independently, it should be possible to customize the "reference hyperlinks" in the console specifically too.
Request is welcome to make it a separate setting for the console: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
I am having the same issue but the above does not work for me. I tried changing to a completely different color but that still had no effect. I am on Ubuntu 17.10 if that helps.
Is that a Terminal tool Window?
The original topic was about the Run console.
Yes, sorry, I missed that. This in reference to the terminal window, not the run console. Is there a different thread for that?
Terminal uses ANSI colors, related issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-154153.
This may work:
I tried changing those too with no luck. None of the ANSI colors even match the color of those links in the terminal.
Your system terminal/shell settings may be used.
Had the same problem with the terminal window links as shown above... Updating the "Hyperlinks>Reference" value fixed the display colour after restarting the terminal tool.
IDE restart is required to apply terminal color changes.
thanks
