Change menu and window theme in IntelliJ

I'm using the Darcula theme in Intelli IDEAJ because it is easier on the eyes, but it seems to only affect the editor.

It really doesn't do much for me, since everything else (menus, etc.) are unaffected and contrast harshly.

Is there a way for me to change these as well?

I believe I saw someone do this once, but I may have been mistaken and looking at another IDE.

Quickest way: View menu -> Quick Switch Scheme -> 5. Switch Look and Feel -> Darcula

You need to also change Appearance theme in Preferences.

(It's confusing that changing the theme doesn't actually change the theme in the whole IDE.)
