Installation
------------

These files were exported from IntelliJ IDEA 10 using `File | Export Settings...`.
Presumably `File | Import Settings...` could be used to read them back in.

Note that font settings come along with the color settings, unfortunately.
1. Copy `Solarized Dark.xml` and `Solarized Light.xml` to your IntelliJ IDEA preferences
color directory.
On Mac OS X this is typically located in `~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea10/colors` or `~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea10CE/colors` (for the Community Edition).
On Windows it is in `Documents and Settings/<user>/.IntelliJIdea10/config/colors`

2. Restart IntelliJ IDEA

Only a Solarized Dark scheme is provided so far.
3. Go to `Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts` and select one of the new
color themes.

Your color schemes are likely located in `~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea10/colors`.
Note About Fonts
-----------------
Unfortunately, font settings are included in the color settings files.
You should probably modify these in `Preferences | Editor | Colors & Fonts | Font`
after adding the color schemes to your IntelliJ IDEA installation.
