Overview

ePaper creates a quiet, paper-like workspace with restrained colors, clear surface separation, and matching custom icons. Five variants cover bright, warm, accessible, and dark environments.

Requirements#

IDE compatibility: IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1+. Check the Marketplace list for other editions and their supported versions.

The documented release is 2026.1.1. Its Marketplace compatibility starts at IntelliJ Platform build 241.0. Check the Marketplace compatibility list for your IDE edition and version before installing.

Install the theme in a compatible JetBrains IDE. No language compiler or language server is required. Modern Islands variants need the corresponding platform support; inspect the release compatibility and variant notes before choosing one.

Start here#

Install ePaper Theme, then follow Choosing a variant. The configuration reference explains where to adjust the behavior for your project.

In this manual#

• Choosing a variant — Compare the ePaper Theme palettes and select a suitable workspace.

Feature guides#

Visual guide#

• Paper palettes and semantic colors — Choose a paper surface while retaining errors, diffs, and state cues.

Customization#

• Reading and workspace settings — Tune typography while preserving ePaper’s semantic cues.

Current limitations#

The theme cannot simulate a physical e-ink display. Islands-style geometry depends on the host IDE; older supported versions retain compatible colors and component styling.

Release reference#

These instructions target the published 2026.1.1 release. Check the version under Settings → Plugins → Installed if your IDE behaves differently. For setup failures, start with troubleshooting.
