JetBrains is introducing the Islands theme, a new visual design for their IDEs starting with version 2025.2.3. Available in both dark and light modes, this theme provides a modern look with better separation between editor and tool windows, improved tab visibility, and enhanced navigation. The theme was selected based on user feedback from surveys, A/B tests, and interviews during the 2025.2 EAP. Users can enable it in Appearance settings and are encouraged to provide feedback through surveys, with participants eligible for prizes including Amazon gift cards or JetBrains subscriptions.

Islands Theme: The New Look Coming to JetBrains IDEs

Catppuccin Mocha or Dracula for me still - but this looks better than their base ‘Dark’ theme. Using a community theme comes with the benefit of having it available for other IDEs, applications, and even the terminal.

I love the new theme! Looking forward to the first stable release. :)

Looks like it’s inspired by Trae. Loved their style right from the start and hope it’ll come to more editors in the future.
