Android Studio 1.2.1.1 – Failed to find style ‘textViewStyle’

I’m new to Android development and I just installed Android Studio version 1.2.1.1. I created a project, HelloWorld, and chose the default blank activity, Darcula theme, and default API. Straight out of the box, without having written any code or touched anything, I get this message:

“Rendering Problems Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references. Failed to find style ‘textViewStyle’ in current theme (4 similar errors not shown).”

I uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio but I still get this error so I’m not sure what else I should do. It says “use the theme combo box… or fix the theme style references” and I’m new to Android Studio so I have no idea where the box is or how to change the reference.
