Installation

One plugin, four themes, for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, CLion, RubyMine, PhpStorm, DataGrip and Android Studio (2024.1 or newer).

In the IDE open Settings | Plugins | Marketplace, search for Living Code and click Install, then pick Living Code Night (or Frost, Paper, Signal) in Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Theme; the matching editor color scheme is applied with it.

Without a marketplace: download living-code-jetbrains-0.1.1.zip from the latest GitHub release (or build it with pnpm run package:jetbrains from a checkout, which writes it to dist/). In Settings | Plugins, click the gear icon, choose Install Plugin from Disk..., pick the zip and restart.

The sources in the repository root are the plugin's layout: META-INF/plugin.xml, one themes/living-code-<flavor>.theme.json UI theme and one themes/living-code-<flavor>.xml editor scheme per flavor.
