colorSchemeTool for JetBrains IDEs

This tool can help you convert color schemes used in TextMate and VS Code and make them compatible with IntelliJ-based IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, and PyCharm.

Please note that converted color schemes may not look 100% precise because of the differences between the tools. If you spot any significant issues or encounter a problem, please report them here.

Note that the tool requires Python version 2.7. The default version of Python installed on macOS X Snow Leopard is 2.6; you'll need to use Python from MacPorts/Homebrew if you'd like to run the tool on 10.6.

How to convert VSCode theme

Note: please check if the desired theme already exists in the JetBrains plugin repository before converting it.

  1. Clone the colorSchemeTool code.
  2. Download the JSON file with the VS Code theme you’d like to convert.
  3. Move the JSON file to the vscThemes folder under colorSchemeTool.
  4. Run the convert.sh script.
  5. Check the intellijThemes folder – you should find a new .icls file there.

How to apply converted theme

  1. In your IDE, go to Preferences / Settings | Editor | Color Scheme.
  2. Click on the Show Scheme Actions gear icon and select Import Scheme....
  3. Choose the newly converted .icls file.
