I believe if you restart IntelliJ, it will update the background of all panes (tool windows).

If you are having trouble to revert back to light frames, there is a way to do that.

Locate the your IntelliJ settings folder (on Windows, it is typically C:\Users\{username}\.IdeaIC12\, on Mac, it is something like ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea13/options. Of course you have to select the appropriate IntelliJ folder)).

Go to the folder config\options\.

Edit the file options.xml.

Delete these lines:

Done.
