Android Studio is so powerful tool and very convenient to use. I super like its Darcula Theme. But the problem is all windows changed their background color to black except Terminal. See screenshot belowenter image description here

I noticed I can change the bash path from here enter image description here So I wonder if I can change the terminal background color to be black. Any advice will be appreciated.

Go to 

File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colors and Fonts -> Console Colors

Select

Console > Background

on the list.

On the extreme right side, you will find Background checkbox.

Edit this. Restart the IDE. You are ready to go...

  • Did you restart your IDE ? – Paritosh Nov 24 '14 at 07:05
  • Yes, needed to restart Android Studio. – CodeToLife Jan 29 '17 at 17:20
  • @CodeToLife I already mentioned **restart the IDE** in my original answer. You might want to give me **up vote** instead of down vote. – Paritosh Jan 30 '17 at 05:12
  • Oh yes. Apologizes. I downvoted by mistake. Will correct that. – CodeToLife Jan 31 '17 at 18:05
  • I can confirm that whenever changing the default theme in *Appearance & Behavior > Appearance* (e.g. from Default to Darcula, or vice versa) a restart of the IDE is needed to reflect this change in the embedded terminal. The change is immediate in all the other windows (e.g. Android Monitor), but just not in the embedded terminal. This behaviour might cause some confusion. – weibeld Feb 21 '17 at 04:27

    You do not need to restart the IDE. Just change the colors as suggested, open terminal IN android studio and type exit. Then launch the terminal again within android studio and enjoy. – ahsan.dev Aug 14 '17 at 11:25

Just hit the [x] button at the left hand side of the Terminal. This will close the terminal, then launch it again. You will see that the color has changed to Darcula as well.
