Changing the background color of an intellij pane

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?

I like to play around with different themes and installed a bunch of them. After a while when I switched back to IntelliJ Light, this happened -

The opened files bar in editor couldn't retrieve its default colors. I tried -

  1. Switching between themes (View -> Quick switch scheme -> Theme -> Selecting another one

  2. Restart the IDE

  3. Finally I did this - Files -> Settings -> Plugins -> And disabled all installed themes and restart

And voila!

Hope this helps someone in a similar situation :)
