See the Solarized homepage for screenshots, details and color scheme versions for Vim, Mutt, popular terminal emulators and other applications. These versions can also be found in the main Solarized repository on GitHub.
Unfortunately the IntelliJ subtree in the main repository has not been updated and is out-of-sync with this repository.
For IntelliJ this IntelliJ-only repository is therefore recommended over the main repository.
These color scheme files are primarily tested with IntelliJ IDEA 12 Community Edition. They might work with other versions of IntelliJ IDEA as well as other JetBrains tools (e.g. PhpStorm and PyCharm).

Go to
Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fontsand select one of the new color themes.
Unfortunately, font settings are included in the color settings files.
You should probably modify these in Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts | Font
after adding the color schemes to your IntelliJ IDEA installation.
If you want to commit updates to the XML color scheme files, make sure to run the buildjar.sh or buildjar.bat script before committing to generate
an updated settings.jar file as well.
The scripts have been tested on OS X and Windows, on other operating systems you're on your own.
