Configure mintty for git-bash / msys2, background color etc - background-color

Basically re-asking "How do you configure Msys's default size, color, and font?" after 11 years when all the answers are not applicable any more.
So, git-bash / msys2 start under mintty. How to configure mintty's default background color? I want to change it from pure black to a certain grey.
Also, I found that for the mintty under msys2, the vertical scrollbar is not working. I.e. I am unable to scroll back at all. Mouse scrolling only scroll the command line, not the window. That's a mis-configuration that I want to fix as well.
UPDATE:
So with the icon in the upper left of the MinTTY, I got my color right, but scrollbar was still not working:
until I got out of tmux and realized it was a tmux problem.
So all good now.

You can click on the icon in the upper left of the window and then select "Options" to open the MinTTY Options. There are options for colors and whether to have a scrollbar.

vim x/y scrollbar hiding my commands and being really anoying

i'm a new vim user since 2 weeks and i've currently have my biggest trouble for the moment on vim.
i always have a x and y scrollbar on my vim and the x one is very anoying because it cover my commands.
here is a screenshot of the scrollbars that appears when i use terminal inside of vim using `:term` / `:!dir` or even when i save my vimrc or source it (`:so ~/.vimrc`)
if there is any solutions to it i will be really grateful, thanks for reading
This is an issue with your layout settings in Powershell and Ubuntu. Right click on the top bar of either program, go to Properties and then go to the Layout tab. You can check the Wrap text output on resize box and that should get rid of your horizontal scrollbar, thereby allowing you to use Vim as normal. Alternatively, in the same menu, you can decrease the width of the screen buffer size so that it is smaller than the width of the window size.

how to widen the Visual Studio Code's Terminal window from left end of screen to right end of screen?

In Visual Studio Code, Terminal window is some inconvenient because of the width.
I want to widen the width from the end of screen to the end of screen.
Is it possible?
enter image description here
As far as I'm aware, no, this isn't possible to some extent, but perhaps there are some extensions you could search around to see if they can do something similar.
Remember that using your PC's command terminal is also an option.
However, I've found that minimizing the left sidebar by dragging it to the left is an option, which increases the terminal width to the entire screen if this is what you're looking for:
Note doing that disables you from accessing that entire sidebar unless you drag it out again.

Changing Font Color in PyCharm "Run" pane

With a dark theme chosen, the "run" pane (not the python "console" nor the "terminal" accessible within PyCharm) shows a very dark font such that it can barely be seen. Switching to a light theme, all is well. I've found help (within Pycharm, here, Google, and YouTube) on setting the font colors for the editor, console, and terminal panes, but not a thing on changing the run-pane colors. Any ideas?
I usually just use native Editor settings in the Preferences.
So you can try going into the :
Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Console Colors
click on Console Colors and use the menu on the right
Console > Backgroud > select prefered color
Click Apply to test the color
Click OK to save changes
Hope that helps.
FWIW, I am using the Grep Console plugin (in my older 5.0.6 PyCharm Pro version) which also controls the Run panes and has a fairly configurable color scheme (both background and foreground):
This is how the Run pane looks like (snapshot intentionally smudged):

In Android Studio, how do I change the background color of the left-hand gutter?

In Android Studio (version 2.0), the background color of the left-hand gutter is the same background color as my editor. This causes me to erroneously think that my indentions are off.
If I could simply change the background color of the gutter, it will look like a separate area to my eyes, and I won't stop second-guessing the indent levels.
But I can't find the setting (not surprising--there are thousands of settings!). And as you can see, I only turn line-numbers on while debugging.
In my current settings, you can see how difficult it is to tell the gutter apart from the editor:
Finally found it!
Open up the Preferences according to your Operating System.
Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General -> Gutter -> Background. Check the background box on the far right, then click on the rectangle to the right of the checkbox. A color picker will pop up, allowing you to change the background color of the gutter.

Netbeans 8.0.2 Output Window

I would like to change the output window color from the default white to black or some other color. I am using Netbeans 8.0.2 IDE.
You can do by following methods:
Make sure your output window is visible - if it's not, just run any of your application and close it again - the window will pop up right after running it.
All you have to do now is to right click into the output window and choose Settings. That's it, a window where you can customize all the font colors and background colors will show up.
Below Image for reference: you can go Tools-->Option-->Miscellaneous-->Output
