How to change Android Studio tab text color?

When using dark mode, editor tab text for changed files are not readable because of color choice. It is blue on gray and it is really annoying for me. I am trying to read the file name like a hypermetropic trying to read. It is definitely not readable. Am I the only one having this problem? I can't find any question about this.

Tabs

I am not able to find any settings for this. There is a tab color setting under Editor - Color Scheme - General -> Tabs but it had no effect.

Help, please!

Solution

  • After wasting hours on this, I found the place to change the color.

    File -> Preferences (for MacOS, use Android Studio -> Preferences) -> Version Control -> File Status Colors -> Modified

    You might also need to change the "Up to date" color, which controls the default text color of a tab:

    File -> Settings (for MacOS, use Android Studio -> Settings) -> Version Control -> File Status Colors -> Up To Date

    Android Studio Settings, Version Control, File Status Colors
