spyder IDE - make variable explorer to follow the color scheme of the Editor

I do not know why but when I change the color scheme of the spyder editor (I have the latest version installed and I do it through preferences -> syntax coloring), the variable explorer's color remains the same:

enter image description here

Since this is very distracting for me I searched it and found something more like a package called QDarkStylesheet that you can install and import, but it sounds a little tricky as I figured some people have reported several issues with it in GitHub! So, is there a straightforward way for making the variable explorer have the same dark color in spyder?

(Spyder maintainer here) Right now (May/2018) is not possible to make the coloring shown in the Variable Explorer follow the one in the Editor and IPython console.

However, we're working to make this possible for Spyder 4 (to be released in 2019).
