Pycharm as a powerful Python IDE, in the process of using it, I feel that I have not been able to find a comprehensive and complete reference manual, so I decided to briefly translate the Pycharm tutorial on the official website and share it with you.
1. Preparation
First make sure you have Pycharm 2.7 or later installed (download address), please download the corresponding version according to your system platform when downloading.
2、How to choose the appearance of Pycharm
Pycharm has several predefined theme modes, the number of available themes depends on the type of operating system, you can refer to the appearance instructions (frame of reference) in the "Settings/Preferences" dialog box.

to open "Settings/Preferences", and then click theframe of reference：
(2) In the following dialog box, click the drop-down menu corresponding to "Theme", and then select a theme of your choice:

Expand the Color and Font node to enter the Editor Settings dialog:
First, in the drop-down list of the language space, click to select the font type of the current document string, through the preview window we can simply preview the visual effect of the current settings.

5. The difference between software themes and edit box font themes
Note the difference between the two themes, the former is related to the whole software, while the latter is just a property change applied to the edit box section.
