Foreglow Theme Pack — JetBrains

Unofficial JetBrains port of Foreglow/visual-studio-code: four twilight-inspired variants — Foreglow (dark), Afterglow (light), Alpenglow (rubescent), Airglow (auroral).

Each variant pairs a UI theme (*.theme.json) with a matching editor color scheme (*.xml) under src/main/resources/themes/, wired together by src/main/resources/META-INF/plugin.xml.

Build

./gradlew buildPlugin

Produces the distributable plugin zip under build/distributions/.

Try it locally without building a distribution

./gradlew runIde

Launches a sandboxed IDE instance with the theme pack already installed, for quick iteration.

Install the built plugin

Settings/Preferences → Plugins → ⚙️ → Install Plugin from Disk… → pick the zip from build/distributions/, then restart. Then Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance → Theme, and pick a variant.

See INSTALL.md for more detail, including the editor-scheme-only path that skips the plugin entirely.
