Reset default settings in WebStorm

I have applied this theme to WebStorm, but I do not like it.

How can I revert to WebStorm's default setting?

To reset to default settings, first close webstorm and delete configurations e.g:

$ rm -rf ~/.config/JetBrains/WebStorm2021.3/

Then start webstorm again.

Uninstalling the previous used Material UI Theme plugin didn't help completely for me, because some colors were still overwritten.

After deleting the "colors" folder inside the config folder of my WebStorm installation directory, the default theme was reset completely.

On macOS Mojave, I had to go to

/Users/loggedInUser/Library/preferences/WebStorm2019.2/

and delete the colors and options folders. That did the trick.

Depending on what OS you are on, you should be able to remove the config file and WebStorm will recreate it.

Normally, there are .idea folders as @camden_kid said.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/2016.1/project-and-ide-settings.html

Windows

<User home>\.WebStormXX\config that contains user-specific settings.

<User home> in WindowsXP is C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\;
in Windows Vista it is C:\Users\<User name>\

Linux

/.WebStormXX/config that contains user-specific settings

Mac

~/Library/Preferences/WebStormXX contains the rest of the configuration settings.

You might be able to just swap theme depending on how destructive the theme files were.

Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs:

Just disable (or better -- uninstall) that plugin -- that's it.

  1. Settings/Preferences | Plugins
  2. Find that plugin (Material Theme UI) and click "Uninstall"
  3. Close Settings/Preferences window by clicking OK button
  4. Restart IDE
  5. Now you can change GUI Theme and Editor Color Schema separately
