Rider 2025.2.2 Not Showing File Status in the IDE window
Hi!
I've upgraded to Rider 2025.2.2 this morning and ran into an issue that made me downgrade back to 2025.2.1.
Unfortunately, there's no longer a color difference between ReadOnly files and Writeable files in the IDE window. Previously, ReadOnly files appear slightly lighter in color tone in the code editor. In 2025.2.2, there's no distinction, and the default theme is also darker.
The only way to figure out a file's status is by looking at the lock icon at the bottom right, which isn't ideal.
Downgrading has brought back the expected behavior. ReadOnly files are lighter in tone compared to writeable ones.
Is there a setting to bring back this behavior in the latest hotfix? Is this a bug?
Thank you!
Max

Hi, you may enabled the beta Island Theme in the new version, we fixed some color scheme settings in the latest 2025.2.4 release.
I'm not quite clear with your status - Reader Mode is enabled by default on the read-only files, I guess it's the “lighter” status you are mentioning.
Currently you can't specify read-only files scope in IntelliJ IDEs, but you can specify the file scope of the files then you can assign different file color scheme on them.
Hi! I held off on upgrading for a while but tried going to 2025.2.4 last week and the bug appeared fixed! Files that are ReadOnly not appear as expected.
Thank you!
