Just a few days ago (2022-5-23), JetBrains announced the launch of a brand new default interface for IDEA, but it is still in the beta testing phase. To enable this interface, you need to sign up in the original article and wait to be selected to know the activation method.

1. In Preferences - Appearance & Behavior - Appearance, set the Theme to Dark.
