Changing the background color of an intellij pane

Question

I've changed the color scheme in intellij so that the background of the Java editor pane is dark and the text is light. I'm not sure if this is directly related, however, in other windows such as the 'run' window, the background stays white but any system messages are displayed as white text. This is obviously a problem as I can't read white text on a white background unless I manually highlight the text to have the background a different color.

Is there a way to change the background color of other panes other than the editor pane in IntelliJ?

Answer 1

There does not seem to be a way. I'll either have to revert my color scheme back to the default, keep the white on white text in the 'run' pane or convince my work to get me a mac so i can use the magic key combination to invert all colors on the screen!
