Overview

Noctis balances warm and cool colors across dark and light themes. The collection includes the eleven original palettes and the JetBrains-exclusive Noctis Aurora, with native Islands styling.

Requirements#

IDE compatibility: IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2.3+. Check the Marketplace list for other editions and their supported versions.

The documented release is 2026.2.1. Its Marketplace compatibility starts at IntelliJ Platform build 252.26830.84. 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.
