Configuration for PHPStorm

Below are the configuration options that I use for the PHPStorm IDE.

Appearance

I use New UI as the appearance. The New UI reduces visual complexity, provides easy access to essential features, and progressively discloses complex functionality as needed – resulting in a cleaner look and feel. Read more (opens in a new tab).

To change the appearance, go to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > New UI and check Enable new UI.

Theme

I use the Atom One Dark (Material) from the Material Theme UI plugin as the theme. The Atom One Dark (Material) theme is a dark theme with a blue accent color.

To change the theme, go to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Material Theme UI > Settings and select Atom One Dark (Material).

Font

I use Fira Code as the editor font. The Fira Code font is a monospaced font with programming ligatures.

To change the editor font, go to File > Settings > Editor > Font and select Fira Code. Also, check Enable ligatures.

Download the Fira Code font from here (opens in a new tab).
