Android Studio's Dracula Color Scheme Got Messed Up? - android-studio

Allowed for some plugin updates in Android Studio, and now my color scheme got 'messed up.' Parts of the interface is now white and grey??
What happened??

Turns out Android Studio itself was the culprit. It was saving its settings in one of my regular repositories. I was trying to figure out where these files were coming from!
When I got rid of the rpository setting, the colours came back!
Who knew!
Android Studio keeps adding additional files to GitHub

Android Studio Xml Design Greyed Out

Hi I have switched to a new PC and downloaded Android Studio. The design preview of Xml files were fine at first but after I added a device it started to grey out in a couple of seconds and this only happens to my main xml file.
Here is the main xml preview
How I want it to look like
I tried changing API levels and the device didn't do much for me. I also tried changing theme to Light Mode
try to unistall and reinstall android studio.
it seems an IDE bug.

The theme is not changed correctly in Android Studio

I am using the Dracula theme, but there are parts of the code that do not display correctly as shown in the graphic.
When I start the editor everything loads correctly, but after a few milliseconds it changes and does not respect the theme, is there any configuration that has to be done to make it respect the theme?
Just save all the projects and android studio settings. Then uninstall android studio and reinstall it.
OR
Simply restore the setting to default, like so:

You are using a bad version of constraint layout I would use the constraint layout from the androidx Library
androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout I think is the tag
You can try to invalidate Caches and restart like this:
File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart...
After you have done it try to reopen android studio and check your preview.
Another solution that can help you is to switch from the Text tab to the Design tab, this is also the recommended option for working with ConstraintLayout + you can see your preview in your design tab.
And if all of that didn't work you can always reinstall android studio again, this may be the less recommended option but it will most likely solve your problem.

Intellij Idea 2017.3 (and Android studio 3.1) project tool window doesn't show visibility icons anymore

After upgrading to Intellij Idea 2017.3 and to Android Studio 3.1 canary 6 I noticed the project tool window doesn't show the little lock icons next to files anymore.
This is very useful to have a bird's eye view on the visibility of each file (public, package protected...).
Is there a setting to bring them back?

How to refresh the layout Preview pane in the Android Studio v2.2 IDE?

Older versions of Android Studio had a Refresh option in the layout preview in the IDE, but in v2.2 it has vanished. I am finding repeatedly that I update drawable bitmaps in the project with updated files, that new version is not reflected automatically, and I do not see the preview. Problems like this are so common with Android Studio, it's such an utterly infuriating IDE and so flaky, despite the speed it is advancing.
Where did the refresh option go? I can't believe I'm having to actually ask this, but maybe I missed it somewhere obvious!
