I'm using PhpStorm with Material Theme UI. All is good and nice, except the colors for different toolbars.
My particular case is related to the test results bar. When it fails, due to the color schema, I barely can read it. It currently looks like this:
Haven't been able to find any settings under Editor -> Color schema.
Any suggestions?

I managed to interpret a mmstyles file through a tool called "msstylesEditor" but I can't find where I can modify the values for the background and font color of the context menu.
Also if anyone could link me to some tutorials on how to make theme like those found on DeviantArt i'd be glad ! I couldn't find anything !
Here is how msstylesEditor looks
The background can be changed under Menu -> POPUPBACKGROUND. This is an image (1x1px). You have to export it, change its color, then replace the old image.
You also might want to look at the POPUPBORDER and POPUPITEM parts, in order to fully change the menus appearance. I havent verified where the font color is located, but i guess its the TEXTCOLOR properties
of the just stated parts.
The aim of the tool you linked, is mainly to modify existing themes. The styles on DeviantArt are probably made using a (commercial) tool called "Windows Style Builder".
I have a Colors & Fonts theme I pulled in from daylerees. I imported the theme in to my ~/.WebIde90/config/colors/ folder. As seen in the screenshot below, I am using Color IDE which changes my Project navigation to the same color.
My problem is I can't get my top menu bar (ie: the one containing File, Edit, etc.) to change to the same color theme. I opened up my settings, and under Appearance & Behavior > Appearance, there is no matching theme under the UI Options. My only options are Alloy, Darkula, GTK and Intellij.
Is there any way to change the UI Theme to match the Colors and Fonts theme?
There is no customisation interface of any kind for GUI themes (also known as Look & Feel in Java Swing applications).
Basically -- everything is inside the theme. If you want to change it -- you will have to make your own (which is not an easy task as you need to make sure it will work OK in IDEA products, which may have some specifics) or hack the existing one (just changing colors should not be hard). This is actually one of the reasons why such plugins like "Color IDE" exists in first place.
You can change interface fonts at Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Override default fonts by.
I may suggest you to look at custom (modified Darcula) dark GUI & Editor themes at https://github.com/ChrisRM/material-theme-jetbrains . Please note that latest EAP builds (PhpStorm v10) are not fully supported yet -- only stable versions ATM (which is v9 for PhpStorm).
I did install the "son of obsidian" theme in Visual Studio. Today, I used the integrated profiler and could hardly read the per-line percentage and the highlighting was a bit off. No doubt this is because of the theme.
I have tried to find the relevant config entry within the options, but I had no luck so far. Where can I configure the background color of the percentages and the highlight color?
Here is a screenshot to illustrate my problem:
Meanwhile, I tried to change it using the xml File (.vssettings) directly, bit no luck so far. I changed all the colors in the xml to red but the background color of the bar won't change. The textcolor is the same as the normal textcolor in the editor. If that is white or a light gray, the profiling information is hardly legible.
I know this is an old question but for anyone else who happens to have this problem here is the fix:
In VS2013: Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors.
Under the settings for Text Editor in the Display Items box, you can change the margin by editing the Indicator Margin.
I am trying to figure out what the element name for the tooltip is in Visual Studio 2010 so that I can change the style using the extension found here. Anyone know what that is? I am using the default theme which seems to have a white to light grey gradient on it. This is less than optimal since the text for the functions are also white.

In a more general question (and perhaps better), is there anything that maps the names as they are found in the theme to where they are in the IDE.
After switching through some settings, I now believe it is not the IDE theme and is instead in the settings, but can't find which field it is.
Adianbanks is correct go to Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors. The field you posted looks like Signature Help Tooltip Background. It has been overlooked on several of the dark background themes that I have tried. Also, make sure to change the Item Background color.
If you go to Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors, you need to change the combo box at the top to Editor Tooltip to change this style. In my Visual Studio though, I can only change the font, not the colours,
This sounds like a trivial question, but it's proved quite hard to google anything about this.
When editing Color-typed properties through the property editor (when designing WinForms), a little editor pops up with three tabs: Custom, Web and System. I want to set a custom color by using the standard color picker dialog because none of the listed Custom colors are suitable.
I am sure that this used to be possible by double-clicking a blank color on the Custom tab, but this just picks the color being double-clicked and closes the drop-down in my VS2008. Am I imagining this, or did it really use to be possible? Can I do this in VS2008 somehow?
Right click on a blank colour in the palette shown by the custom tab. Brings up the "Define Color" dialog (in VS2008 C# Express, and I imagine the same in other versions).
EDIT - Having discovered this by experimentation, the MSDN library describes it here.
Interestingly, no keyboard-only interface is described.
