Project file listing and tabs text is grey in new UI

We've had a similar report before and then it was caused by a third-party theme plugin that broke the color schemes for VCS-managed files.

Could you please check if there are any .icls files in the IDE configuration directory/colors? Does it help if you temporarily move those files to some other location (or delete completely)?

If this does not help, please share the following details:

• IDE About info captured as text using the Copy and Close button in the Help | About dialog.
• The whole archived configuration directory. You can use our upload service, just let us know the upload ID.
• Output of the echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE command in your OS terminal.

Thank you!

Thanks for the response. I've tracked it down to the presence of `colors/_@user_Light.icls` . Removing this file fixes the issue.

No idea how I got it into this state sorry. I've been through quite a few of PyCharm versions and plugins over the years.

Thank you for getting back to me, I'm glad to know that you resolved the issue.

I do not see anything suspicious among your installed plugins. The only way to track the possible reason is to analyze the settingsSync entries if you have the Settins Sync enabled in IDE File | Settings | Settings Sync. If you have, please share the archived settingsSync folder from the IDE configuration directory.

No problem.

I couldn't see a way to upload directly to this forum so hosted at a free file sharing site: https://filetransfer.io/data-package/tlDs3FFM#link

Brett thank you. From what I see in the log, on October 31th multiple changes have been applied. The _@user_Light.icls file was created right after installing Material Theme UI and Gerry Theme plugins (and not removed after you disabled custom themes), so the issue is caused by some of them. 

Thanks for the explanation Ekaterina Valeeva   - makes sense.
