I changed my color scheme from Default to Dracula, and along with the syntax colouring, the Android Studio interface was set to dark as well.
However, now if I select the Default theme again, the interface remains dark, and would not change back to light grey/white as it should.
I read that in other version's of Android Studio you could change the interface color from Preferences > Editor > General > Appearance, but I cannot find any theme-related settings there.
From your Keyboard press Ctrl+` (back quote) a popup will show
change whatever you want to change from there.
Did you go to: Settings > Appearances > Theme
From there in the theme window, did you see a Theme drop down options? If so try changing it there.
If you've already tried this. Try restarting your Android Studio, if it doesn't make a difference, try changing it again as the change may not have saved before.
I found the theme (interface) option, in OSX is actually under Preferences > Appearance & Behaviour > Appearance.
It is not that straightforward considering the syntax colouring options are in another section entirely :/

I change the theme in my android studio and it changes in all places, except in the background and in the code style, does anyone know how to change in these places, below I left a print to see that the code style is pretty ugly.
Follow Below steps -
Go to File and click on Settings.
Under the Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance, find Theme.
Choose the Default theme from the drop-down and click on Apply and then Ok.
Here you can see the background and color scheme for all three themes.
I'm new to Android development and I just installed Android Studio version 1.2.1.1. I created a project, HelloWorld, and chose the default blank activity, Darcula theme, and default API. Straight out of the box, without having written any code or touched anything, I get this message:
"Rendering Problems
Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references. Failed to find style 'textViewStyle' in current theme (4 similar errors not shown)."
I uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio but I still get this error so I'm not sure what else I should do. It says "use the theme combo box... or fix the theme style references" and I'm new to Android Studio so I have no idea where the box is or how to change the reference.
Simply click on the Refresh icon at the review pane:
Android gives you the option to define your own style format, which the default project you made did. It created a style named 'textViewStyle'.
If you look at the text view instead of the design view (you can switch by pressing the tab at the lower left in the part where you get the error that it can't render) you will see that the textView or the app itself contains a line android:theme="#style/textViewStyle".
You can either remove this line, or track down the error in the styles.xml file in the res/values folder. This is the file that defines the style for the app.
If this doesn't help you it could be that the style is defined in your AndroidManifest.xml file, look at the tag, it will contain a line saying android:theme="#android:style/textViewStyle", change that to android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault" and you should be good to go.

Make sure to select the correct theme from the menu in the preview panel.
If you set the layout file to be FullScreen in the manifest but select something like NoActionBar theme in the preview panel, you will also get this error.
Go to manifest file, check the theme you are using there and pick the same in the Design view of your xml file.
Rebooting Android Studio did the trick for me. I couldn't find the "Refresh" button in the accepted answer for some reason.
Click on "Design" tab
On the right pannel, search for the objet "text" that contains something like "#string/hello_world"
Remove this value from the field
There's no more error.
How can I change the occurrence/write occurrence color in Android Studio? Is this even possible? In Eclipse it was found (on a Mac) under Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Annotations
Does Android Studio even provide this option? It's a number of small annoyances like this (as well as the massive performance issues it seems to be having thus far) that prevent me from moving to Android Studio.
Currently running Android Studio 1.2 Beta if that helps.
Go to menu
Preferences > Editor > Color&Fonts > General
Find "Identifier under caret" and change Foregound or/and Background colors with a color you wish. When you click a variable, it will be highlighted with the color you chose.
To mark selected occurrences in Android Studio you have to additionally use a shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J
to mark them. Then all occurrences will be highlighted with darker better to see color. That option is also available in menu
Edit -> Find -> Select All Occurrences
Still if you want to change that color then you can find it in
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General -> Selection background
If you are using default scheme then you will have to save a new scheme to change selection background color.
Sadly I didn't find any option to change the color of selected occurrence after selecting class/variable (one click, like in Eclipse). I guess that there is no option for that yet.
I switched back and forth between the Dracula and Default theme. Now my text folder in the source set has a different color. How do I fix that? Tried invalidating the caches, restarting. But I couldn't fix it. Attached is a screenshot.
My guess - this folder is somehow special. It's either ignored (vcs), excluded etc. Check your color settings:
File > Settings > Editor > Color & Fonts > File Status and look through the styles in your active scheme. One of those probably has a dark background set.
I'm following a few tutorials in order to change my Logcat colors in Android Studio 0.6.1 without success.
To set it up I go to:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colours and Fonts -> Android Logcat
Once on Android Logcat, the foreground, background, etc. check boxes are all disabled.
Does anyone have an idea why?
Thanks in advance.
You cannot change the default so first you need to creat your own configuration by clicking on "save as" button.
After doing so there is a check-box below the all available color options, Entitled "Inherit Attributes From Console", Untick that checkbox will enable all color options for you.
To change the Logcat colors you can go to goto File > Settings or press Ctrl+Alt+S.
You can see this similar UI assuming you are using Darcula Theme
Note you need to unchecked Use inherited attributes in-order to modify the color.
