Background colour in project tree window

I'd like to know how to change the background colour of the project tree window in PHPStorm. Up until recently, I've been using the ColorIDE plugin and whilst I know it's a bit old, reloading it whenever there's an update to the IDE has been successful in keeping it going.

Not so with the latest update! (2021.1)

I find incredibly hard to believe that something so simple as a background colour should be so difficult to sort out - other programs/utilities etc. make it so easy!

Can anyone help me please? I've tried looking in the settings with not much luck. I hate having anything other than black for a background (the greyish green colour is HORRIBLE!)

Hi there,

(the greyish green colour is HORRIBLE!)

Please share the screenshot of that. Maybe it's a scope color.

Other than that: such background is part of the GUI Theme; you can try another using another/custom theme.

It's the same colour as the menus; which is set in the general "dark theme". Whilst this colour if fine for menus, it isn't fine, in my opinion, for a screen background colour.. Changing the colour scheme does not change the background of the project tree window, except when switching between light and dark themes. Surely, if it can change when the light or dark theme is applied, there MUST be a way to change it independently?

Chances are you are trying to change the Editor color scheme, while Andriy is talking about the GUI theme, it's a different entity.
