ObsidianBlade - A semantic coloring theme for IntelliJ IDEA

Scala

Java

ObsidianBlade is a spin off of the classic Obsidian, the source of which I actually wanted to fork, but couldn't quite find the repo. Anyhow, thanks Morinar!

ObsidianBlade targets mainly Java and Scala (and some Bash) and introduces a fine-grained semantic color coding that allows one to easily tell apart semantic constructs in a glimpse of an eye. Class memebers, method parameters, local variables all have their own color, making code both pretty and easy to read.

IntelliJ version compatability:

• For IntelliJ 16.x, 17.x use the master branch
• For IntelliJ 13.x, 14.x, 15.x use the v1.0 tag

1. Download the latest settings.jar.
2. From IntelliJ, go to File, then Manage IDE Settings, then Import Settings and specify the settings.jar file you've downloaded in the previous step.
