All grey parent pom.

[cadenkriese]

Summary

The parent pom.xml file in my multi-module maven project is all grey despite being valid XML. This issue occurs in any Material color scheme.

Note:

• The grey XML only occurs in Material theme color schemes, even if Material is installed if the color scheme is set to Darcula, for example, the formatting is restored.
• As a result, uninstalling/disabling Material does not necessarily fix this problem unless you also switch your color scheme back to Darcula or another JetBrains default color scheme.

...

Expected behavior

Correctly colored XML as in other XML files or as seen in default IntelliJ color schemes.
...

Actual behavior

XML is entirely grey, aside from a few things at the top. Also, any child poms that reference the parent pom are grey when they reference the parent pom.

All grey parent pom.

Grey parent reference from child pom.

...

Steps to reproduce (if needed)

1. Create a new maven project.
2. Right-click the project files side and create a new module.
3. View the pom.xml in the project base directory, and it is all grey.

For me happens with Monokai Theme.

Please try again with latest version (4.13)

I did not make it. I downloaded the .zip from the jetBrains website, but ide throws the error saying that the package is not compatible. I also noticed that 4.13 is not a stable package, but EAP on the jetbrains website. In that case, what do you suggest?

Ensure you are using the latest EAP of IntelliJ. 4.13 seems to fix the issue for me on there.

The issue still remains!

@mallowigi

Please make sure to reset your color schemes

How am I supposed to do that? I uninstall and reinstalled material theme plugin but it didn't help.

I don't understand why this ticket is closed, by the way. Will this not be fixed for Intellijs 2019 edition? I'm asking since the only solution you have is to update to EAP versions.

[AndreG-P]

It turns out that it seems to be a problem with comments in the pom. I have some one-line comments <!-- comment -->. If I move them to other places, it occasionally activates the correct highlighting. If I change it again, it suddenly greys out everything. Very strange behavior.

I have created a full documentation website for questions like these, please use it accordingly.

[mallowigi]

I closed it because I figured that the issue was because the provided color schemes lacked an attribute. Since I fixed that issue in the latest releases, the colors should be back. However you might still be using a copy of the bundled schemes so the issue will still persist for you. That’s why I asked to reset the schemes.

Please note that this will reset your custom color scheme settings.

[AndreG-P]

Indeed, uninstall the plugin does not delete the schemes the plugin ships. I deleted them manually and installed them again. Now it works.

[scheinercc]

Thanks @mallowigi !! FYI, this e.g. also fixed greyed color values in scss files :)

Where did you find the files? I've been searching for quite a while now but couldn't find the safe files

@Gurkinator @vuachom94
Sorry, you should ping my name if you want me to see your questions.

It depends on your system. Here is the official guide: JetBrains Plugin-Directory

In linux it would be under: ~/.local/share/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.1/MaterialTheme. I don't remember if I also deleted the cache of IntelliJ. Might be useful also. See here: Directories used by the IDE to store settings, chaches, plugins and logs.
~/.config/JeBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.1/

[GoerkemInan]

That was still extremely fast, Thank you.

Hi @mallowigi, this issue still persist for Material Theme Deep Ocean Theme on parent pom.xml. See screenshot below
