No CSS color preview icon in gutter in .css file in PyCharm


I am using PyCharm as my IDE for about 1 year, and in my PyCharm setting --> Editor --> Appearance, "Show CSS color preview icon in gutter" is checked.

But the preview icon only shows in a <style> block in .html. And when I moved the styles into a separate .css file, the preview icon just not show.

How can I make the color preview icon show in a .css file in PyCharm ?


Solution

  • Can't reproduce:

    CSS

    Check that .css is mapped to the correct file type in Settings | File Types.

    Also try File | Invalidate Caches | Invalidate and Restart.

    If the above doesn't help, contact support with a sample project to reproduce, your settings exported with File | Export Settings and idea.log.

    UPDATE: colors in the gutter may not show if you have Highlighting Level set lower than Inspections:
