IntelliJ IDEA seems to be ignoring code formatting

Question

I've been attempting to get my Intellij IDEA to confirm to a google-like Java standard - however both imports and manual settings seem to be ignored.

Here's how my indentations are currently set:

However my code still formats at 4 spaces, and when I reformat it goes to 4 spaces as well.

Thanks in advance!

This is the setting for your GoogleStyle scheme. But your project most likely doesn't use it. It's not enough to just select it in the combobox. You need to import this scheme into your project.

Click Manage... and Copy to Project, and it should work as expected.

Also, make sure you're setting language-spefic settings, so instead Code Style select Code Style > Java.
