How do you install custom color schemes in PhpStorm 2016.1 on Mac OSX?

Previous versions you'd place an xml file in a directory like ~/user/webide900/colors and PhpStorm would pick it up and make it an option for you in the settings to switch to one of those themes.

This site where I used to get themes appears to still be up to date but their instructions for install are for old versions.

PhpStorm docs don't make any mention of installing custom scheme files.

Update for Ubuntu/Linux versions in 2020:

  1. Find your PHPStorm folder in /home/your user/.config/JetBrains/PhpStormversion number/
  2. Create a new folder called colors.
  3. Drag your .icls file in there and reload the IDE
  4. Go to File > Settings > Editor > Color Scheme and select your theme from the drop down box.

Example:

Mine was in /home/enigmapr0ject/.config/Jetbrains/PhpStorm2020.3, created a new folder called colors and dropped my themes in there. Worked perfectly.
