Improvements
Reduced opacity for "File Colors" UI theme keys — #47, #51 ⇄ #53 (⊶ aa7f39e)
↠ Changed the opacity of File Colors to 10% which is still enough to be recognizable and doesn't affects the readability of labels. With the previous colors (100% opacity) this resulted in too bright highlighted backgrounds making most labels unreadable and destroying the themes overall appearance.
The File Colors are used to distinguish between project files, folders or packages of specific scopes. Unfortunately the theme API doesn't allow (yet) to specify the target for the color like e.g. background or only foreground.

Features
IDE 2019.1 Plugin and UI Theme Transition — #43 ⇄ #45 (⊶ 18f9989)
↠ As of IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1 it is finally possible to theme the IDE UI! Therefore this theme is now a full IntelliJ Platform SDK plugin using JetBrain's DevKit and providing both a IDE UI and editor theme.
Workflow
The theme was migrated by following the official workflow documentation to
- Customize the UI icons and Controls
- Bundle the already existing editor color theme
- Build, debug and test the theme plugin
- Deploy and publish the theme plugin
The IntelliJ SDK provides a lot of tools to develop plugins by enabling the internal mode that will allow to show e.g. the LaF Defaults.
The plugin is represented by a plugin icon that is also available as of the the IntelliJ Platform version 2019.1.
The Nord JetBrains plugin also tries to follow the IntelliJ Platform UI Guidelines.
Minimum IntelliJ Platform SDK Version Requirement
Since Nord JetBrains is now a plugin instead of only a editor theme file (.icls), that can also be imported manually, the minimum version of IntelliJ has been raised to 2019.1.
Documentation Changes
The install instructions have been updated to match the installation method through the [official Plugin Repository][jb-plug-repo-nord].
No More Custom Compilation Scripts
Since the plugin is now provided through the [official Plugin Repository][jb-plug-repo-nord] it is not necessary anymore to compile the plugin manually.
The IntelliJ Platform SDK allows to run and debug and plugin from within the IDE and can be deployed/compiled using the builtin functions.
Unused UI Elements
There are some UI elements that are currently not used due to the fact that there was no way to figure out where and how they are used. It requires feedback from the community to find these elements that are not styled or covered by the global * wildcard styles, allowing to add these UI elements from time to time.
Tasks
Project renaming to "Nord JetBrains" — #44 ⇄ #45 (⊶ 18f9989)
↠ In GH-31 the project was renamed from nord-intellij-idea-syntax to nord-jetbrains-editor where the editor post-fix word was used to keep the namespace open for the possibility that JetBrains introduces a official UI theme API someday.
This is now finally the case so the project has been renamed to nord-jetbrains to clarify the theme is a full JetBrain Platform SDK plugin that provides both a UI and editor theme and is also compatible with all currently available IDEs.
The full changelog ist available here.

Improvements
Editor Color Scheme Plugin — #28 ⇄ #33 (⊶ 762dd19)
↠ The theme is now available from the JetBrains Plugins Repository.
JetBrains announced a new feature for the platform that allows to export editor color schemes as plugins which can be easily installed from the Plugin Repository. Color scheme plugins can be filtered with the Editor Color Schemes category.
This feature greatly improves the installation process for Nord regarding the UX and version update handling compared to the manual installation and is the recommended method.
Syntax
Comment Color Brightness — #41 ⇄ #42 (⊶ 04adc7b)
↠ Implemented the increase of the comment color (nord3) brightness by 10% from a lightness level of ~35% to ~45%.
➜ Please see arcticicestudio/nord#94 for all details about this design change decision!

Migration to MIT license — #29 ⇄ #30 (⊶ 4081f21)
↠ Migrated to the MIT license to adapt to the migration of the main Nord project.
➜ Please see the main task ticket for all details about this change decision.
Project renaming to "Nord JetBrains Editor" — #31 ⇄ #32 (⊶ b2a80df)
↠ The project started with the main indention in my mind to target the IntelliJ IDEA IDE and create a new port project for each IDE from JetBrains, but since all these awesome products are internally based on the IntelliJ engine the color scheme format can be used universally.
To clarify the compatibility with all IDEs from JetBrains the project has been renamed to Nord JetBrains Editor (nord-jetbrains-editor). The "Editor" post-fix word is used to keep the namespace open for the possibility that JetBrains introduces a official UI theme API someday. This is currently only possible by using an unoffical way like overriding internal IDE files as shown by the Material Theme UI plugin.
