The background around the Layout Editor in Android Studio is dark grey. I think it used to be white. Anyway, I would like to make it white again, but I can't find the setting. The reason I want to change it is so that I can make nicer looking print screen images to use on StackOverflow or app descriptions.
Note: I'm not talking about changing the theme or the code editor colors. These questions have already been answered here:

Android Studio 3.0 has a Screenshot menu item. Right click the design area and choose Save Screenshot.
From there you can make a screenshot with a transparent background.

I'm using Android Studio which is basically an IntelliJ IDE. For a while now my pop up windows have a white background no matter if I hover over code or use code completion. I think I checked all white(ish) color settings in Android Studio and set them to dark grey but those pop ups are still white. Please help me this drives me nuts.
There seems to be no solution to this problem. As a workaround I duplicated the Darcular color scheme (named it Darcular_Custom_2022) as this has black window backgrounds. I then set all color settings as they are in my current color scheme (Darcular_edited_2018).
Now everything looks the same in the editor but the pop up windows have a black background.
Cheers!
hello, my question is the following, in the new visual studio code update, for Ubuntu Linux, the toolbar (attached photo) we can see that it is white, and it was to know if it can be changed to black as it was in previous updates, and how is it done? ... thanks
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'd like to be able to see a suggestion that will allow me to see what colour belongs to which colour name/number when using Android studio.
Please note that "Show quick documentation on mouse move" has been activated in my Android studio general settings.
This is what my screen looks like when my mouse is on "blueGrey"
This is how i'd like my screen to look like when my mouse is on "blueGrey"
I sometimes have the same issue. For me, when I open the Quick Documentation with CTRL Q (Command J on Mac), then it shows the color swatches like on your second picture.
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:
