Spyder IPython background color

I'm new to Spyder(version 2.3.0dev6) and I want to change the background color of my IPython console(version 1.1.0). I can change the background color of console but not the IPython console. I also tried in the "Run configuration", "general settings", "command line options": --color=linux, but nothing happened.

(Spyder dev here) You need to update Spyder to 2.3.0beta1, which has this option under:

Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Background color > Dark background
