In phpstorm, how do I switch back to default color theme look and feel?

Question

I have set my phpstorm color scheme to dark theme - "Darcula" theme.

There was a pop up asking if I would also like to change my default look and feel to dark, I clicked on yes, but now I cannot switch back to regular look and feel!

Although the editor background changes according to the scheme, all the other window backgrounds stay dark!

Same as here, just other way arround: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13504594/how-to-make-phpstorm-intellij-idea-dark-whole-ide-not-just-color-scheme — LazyOne, Jun 13 '13 at 09:50

File -> Settings -> Apperarance - Theme.

Then u can change it to whatever you want to again.

File -> Settings -> Colors & Fonts Scheme name.

This will change your editor themes and color.

You can also press Ctrl+~ (tild - switch below the ESC switch the tild) and select look and feel. From the same Ctrl+~ you can choose the key map and more things in phpstorm.

I was unable to switch to other color scheme in /settings/appearance/, it always reverted to dark theme. Disabling Material Theme UI plugin in /settings/plugins/ helped. Now I can switch between any themes.

Go to your phpstrom setting.
Click on Editor option.
After Editor you click on Colors Scheme.
Select the Scheme option and click on apply button.
