I want the grey shade as shown in previews but mine has white as default. I tried to search in file->settings but without much success. Also, I couldn't find Project->clean or any such option. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    If you want only change background on whatever theme you are Preferences > Editor > Color & Fonts > General > Default Text > Background. You could not do this on default theme hence you need to create a copy of default theme as android studio will guide you if you click on background selection rectangle. – Eftekhari Jul 12 '15 at 11:50

You can change it by going File => Settings (Shortcut CTRL+ ALT+ S) , from Left panel Choose Appearance , Now from Right Panel choose theme.

enter image description here

Android Studio 2.1

Preference -> Search for Appearance -> UI options , Click on DropDown Theme

enter image description here

Android 2.2

Android studio -> File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Look for UI Options

EDIT :

Import External Themes

You can download custom theme from this website. Choose your theme, download it. To set theme Go to Android studio -> File -> Import Settings -> Choose the .jar file downloaded.

How do I change Android Studio editor's background color?

Changing Editor's Background

Open Preference > Editor (In IDE Settings Section) > Colors & Fonts > Darcula or Any item available there

IDE will display a dialog like this, Press 'No'

Darcula color scheme has been set for editors. Would you like to set Darcula as default Look and Feel?

Changing IDE's Theme

Open Preference > Appearance (In IDE Settings Section) > Theme > Darcula or Any item available there

Press OK. Android Studio will ask you to restart the IDE.

  • (Mac 10.10.3, AndroidStudio 1.2.2) This is still relevant, I had to do both of these. Changing just the IDE theme did NOT change the "event log" or the "editor" window. – tmac Jun 29 '15 at 14:56
