Unlock JetBrains IDEA’s New UI Instantly – No Preview Request Needed

Yesterday we introduced that JetBrains IDEA announced a brand‑new UI preview, which normally requires an application to try. This guide shows how to enable the new UI directly without applying.

Download the latest IDEA version (2022.1 or later) from the official next‑version page: https://www.jetbrains.com/zh-cn/idea/nextversion/.

Press shift twice to open the registry search.

Find the ide.experimental.ui option and check it.
