I just recently installed Android Studio on my Windows 10 computer, and I am trying to resolve this dissonant background color issue in the built-in terminal. Screenshot here. I have not had this problem when I used Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04.
The color of the text background is black, while the color of the console background is white. This issue is not related to my using Git Bash as my terminal as it also occurs when I use Windows Command Prompt.
I have checked through Settings --> Editor --> Colors and Fonts --> Console Colors and was unable to find anything that would allow me to resolve the background colors. I have also tried changing the color scheme to something different (e.g. Darcula). Screenshot here. Additionally, I also tried to change the overall UI theme and still got identical results.
The terminal is ugly, but I would love to take advantage of its built-in conveniences for using Git. The Android logcat output and Gradle messages look perfectly fine. How can I fix this so that the text and console background colors are the same? Thanks in advance.
I struggled with this issue for a while too.
From experience, the terminal takes the colors of the Windows console. Not that very well however that was the only way that I could do the required changes.
Open a cmd window in windows and on the main menu go to defaults.
Change the colors and save. Next terminal in Android Studio will change on next instance.
The colors won't follow exactly so one needs some experimenting. Best results I got with black text on white background.

For the people who are looking for a new solution:
In the latest version of VSCode, you can add
"window.titleBarStyle": "custom"
to your settings.json file and it should use your vscode theme for the border/titlebar
The GTK Dark Title Bar could be the solution to your problems.
I also want to leave some more references to the various issues opened on the official vscode repo in the past years about this problem so that you can give a reading and get an idea of what happened.
#16363 - Allow to change the background color of menu bar (Windows & some Linux)
#11979 - Support dark theme in Gnome
#30031 - Add a way to choose theme variant (Gnome dark/light theme)
#45968 - Set the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT X11 property on top-level window to use "dark" theme on Gnome
I can't see anything when I type in android studio's terminal. I see the cursor blinking and I can select lines till top but when I copy and paste it somewhere no texts are being pasted [what I checked].
There is no problem with any other log windows.IMAGE IMAGE 2
You may have a problem with your font color settings. It seems like in Windows the terminal takes the colors of the Windows console. Check this answer: Android Studio IDE - Terminal Background Text Colors different from Terminal Background Color
I've installed Android Studio 2.1 and switched to the dark theme. How do I get rid of this background color? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've changed all the background colors of comments but I can't seem to get rid of this:
The Created by Can... comment has a background like it's selected (of course it's not selected) and it's really disturbing my attention.
That background is actually warning highlight from code inspection. You can disable it by going to Settings -> Editor -> Inspections, where you can search for Default File Template Usage and uncheck it (screenshot for help).
I realized my currently focused tab is hard to distinguish:
So my question is how to change currently focused tab's color (Either foreground or background will help) ? I search around in the settings but can't found.
My platform is android studio version 2.1, Linux Fedora 21, gnome 3.14.0.
Your shown tabs are hard to distinguish because in Darcula theme, the test class background is unfortunatelly very hard to distinguish from non selected test tabs. You can see, that you can distinguish MainActivity.java just fine.
How to change color for tests is described in this question:
How to change the active tab header's color in IntelliJ 14.1.4?
Every font I try to change to that isn't Consolas or Courier just shows up as Courier.
I don't understand. Terminal, FixedSys, Terminus (custom), Lucida Console, and every other mono-space font I tried using just comes up as Courier.
I've ran VS as Administrator, re-logged, changed my control panel font size settings, tried different zoom %'s within VS, change the font size around a bunch within VS as well... nothing seems to work.
I googled around and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. Any help much appreciated!
