Oh-my-zsh theme not rendering properly in IntelliJ

Question

Cobalt2 theme does not render properly in the terminal in IntelliJ but works fine in the Mac terminal. How do I correct this?

You should configure IntelliJ to use the patched fonts you are using on terminal. The font on your screenshot doesn' t have the special glyphs. — Iacchus, Aug 21 '21 at 18:05

Thought I'd add for anyone Googling this "zsh themes being broken in IntelliJ" ...especially Powerlevel10k ... you can conditionally switch the theme to a compatible one for your IntelliJ console, and keep the nice one for your main terminal. In .zshrc :

if [[ $__INTELLIJ_COMMAND_HISTFILE__ ]]; then
  ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
else
  ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
fi

Hope that helps someone :-)

I was having exactly the same problem and this solution solved the problem. Hopefully Intellij will fix this problem in the future – cunhaf Oct 22 '20 at 16:05

FYI, PyCharm terminal here has the ENVVAR: TERMINAL_EMULATOR=JetBrains-JediTerm – Iacchus Aug 21 '21 at 18:07

I'm using IntelliJ 2022.1.1 CE + Oh-My-Zsh + Powerlevel10k, below setting made it work for me:

Go to "IntelliJ -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Themes" and select "Sync with OS"
Restart IntelliJ

Result:

This doesn't work with 2022.3.3 RC version of Intellij Idea. Any idea how we can solve for that? Thanks! – Shaik Zakir Hussain May 17 '23 at 06:55

Changing the color scheme in IntelliJ to the same color scheme you're using in your OS terminal should solve this.

I'm using the Dracula Theme in iTerm2, and I installed the IDE color scheme from here Jetbrains Dracula Theme and it's all displaying as expected.

Here's what my PHPStorm terminal looks like now.

Did u find the way to fix the incorrect height of the background line? – M. Alekseev Sep 15 '20 at 07:24
Sorry for the late response. I didn't, would probably take some digging to fix that. I moved onto a project shortly after this post and with it came the need to use VSCode so I didn't take the time to figure it out – Kyle Pillay Nov 03 '20 at 13:20

Select the "JetBrains Mono" font in the Console Fonts option.
