I'm getting this unbearable white background in my Idea terminal. (WebStorm)

Does anyone know how I can change this?

Open File > Settings, and head to the Editor section > Colors & Fonts section. There, you'll see the Console Colors option.

Here, you'll get an interactive edit screen to determine what you want those console colors to look like. Click on the one that's most afflicted and edit its background color to match that of the console window.

Alternatively, if this is from a vanilla installation of your IDE, consider filing a bug against it.

Perhaps, you've changed color scheme of cmd. Delete the entire HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console key from the registry, it sets your cmd settings to defaults and fixes this bug.

Open Registry and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console

and remove

ScreenColors

key

This will reset color settings of your "cmd" window as well. However till JetBrains fixes this issue there is no other way around.
