No Syntax Highlighting (Java)

Answered

Hello!  Just today, my IntelliJ decided to not have any syntax highlighting for any of my projects.  I am unsure as to what the cause of this is, because I have not tampered with settings (I have even defaulted most syntax-related settings).  I am not in power-saving mode, either.

May you show the screenshot? Make sure src folder us marked as sources.

Maybe the same problem I've been seeing.  Highlight is off by default on all my Java files (but not on my Scala files).  Everything works fine once I turn it on, but I have to do it on every single file.

Same for me. Is there some fix or option to enable the highlighting?

Hello,

Is it possible to attach idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after restarting IDE and screenshot showing the whole IDE window?

I got this exact same problem a few days ago, and have not found any solution no matter how much I try. Anyone solved it?

Please check the following:

* Power save mode is turned off
* Highlight option on the right top corner of the editor
* Java source files are under the [sources root directory](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/content-roots.html)
* Disable all the downloaded plugins from Settings | Plugins | click the gear button | select the "Disable all the downloaded plugins" and restart the IDE
