Android Studio Dark Theme (Darcula)

After seeing those cool demos of Android Studio showing the neat-looking dark theme, the default theme that Android Studio downloads with can be a little disappointing.

If you haven’t seen it, here’s Android Studio set to the Darcula theme.

To get the Darcula theme, first open the Android Studio Settings dialog

1. Select File on the Android Studio menu
2. Then select Settings

Once on the Settings screen just…

1. Highlight Appearence
2. Click on the Theme dropdown and select Darcula
3. Click OK

You’ll be prompted to restart Android Studio. Allow the restart and there you have it. The great look of Android Studio in Darcula.
