How to apply a lighter background to Darcula theme in Android Studio?

Question

In Darcula, when the font color is also dark - as in the green below - then it is hard to read against the pitch black background and bugs hide in the undergrowth.

Is there a way to change the background from pitch black to a lighter shade, for example gray (without the glare from the default theme)?

Try this theme : https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8006-material-theme-ui — AskNilesh, Jul 06 '20 at 13:38

As La Bla Bla suggested, you can customise the theme in settings.

OR you could download an entirely new theme from JetBrains' selection here:

and import it using these steps:
