Pure Black Background In Pycharm Ce And Android Studio

While my search for a Python debugger on Emacs remains unfulfilled, I am giving PyCharm CE a test drive. Already on my second day I'm encountering a trivial but frustrating point.

Solution 1:

In File > Settings:

Go to Editor > Colors & Fonts > General

Choose the theme you want to modify (will likely need to Save As... your own as you can't modify the default color schemes.

Go to the Text > Default Text colors and change the background to black. The only ones that won't be affected are the syntax highlighters that define their own background (usually select/highlight/errors/etc.)
