IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3 wearing Hacker Blue: a Java file open in the editor with keywords, strings, comments and an error highlighted in the theme's colours, beside the project tree, on a deep navy interface.

IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3, captured from the running IDE on Linux with Hacker Blue selected. Other JetBrains IDEs use the same theme system but were not run.

How to install

Three steps in your device's terminal. Every command is exactly what you type; copy it, paste it, press Enter.

  1. Put the HackerBlue program on your device

    Linux or macOS: Terminal
    curl -fsSL https://hackerblue.dev/install.sh | sh
    Windows: PowerShell
    irm https://hackerblue.dev/install.ps1 | iex

  2. Sign in

    Terminal
    hackerblue login

    A page opens in your browser; sign in to your Hacker Blue account and choose Approve.

  3. Install the JetBrains theme

    Terminal
    hackerblue install jetbrains

    Restart the IDE, then open Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance and choose Hacker Blue as the theme.

If you use more than one JetBrains IDE, the command asks you to choose with --vault PATH rather than guess.

Updates come with your licence: hackerblue update jetbrains when a newer version is out. hackerblue uninstall jetbrains removes it and restores your previous theme selection, keeping your later settings edits. Every command, and the rest of the guide: the install guide.

JetBrains, default and in HackerBlue

The same view twice. The switch changes only the theme.

Preview
IntelliJ IDEA with its stock Dark theme: a Java file on a near-black editor with orange keywords and green strings. IntelliJ IDEA with HackerBlue: the same file on deep navy with steel-blue code and cyan keywords.

Preview, not a screenshot: IntelliJ IDEA started here but never finished opening the project on this loaded server. Drawn from the released editor scheme beside IntelliJ's Dark theme.

JetBrains belongs to its owner; Hacker Blue is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.

The theme

HackerBlue for JetBrains is a theme plugin: a dark interface theme and a matching editor colour scheme. It covers the windows, panels, tabs, trees, menus and fields, and in the editor the code, the gutter, diffs, search results, warnings and the console; keywords, strings, functions and comments each get their own steel blue or cyan, and body text is kept at WCAG AA contrast or better.

It is a dark theme, and it is a plugin file with no code in it and no network use. It was made and tested with IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3; the other JetBrains IDEs share the same theme system, but only IntelliJ IDEA has been run with it.
