How do I install a color theme for IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.x

Question

I prefer dark backgrounds for coding, and I\'ve downloaded a jar file containing an IntelliJ IDEA color theme that has a dark background. How do I tell IntelliJ about it?

Answer 1

Interesting I never spent too much time adjusting the colours in IntelliJ although tried once.

See link below with an already defined colour scheme you can import.

Where can I download IntelliJ IDEA 10 Color Schemes?
