Hello.
I am new to R and I like it very much... I am learning to use it day-by-day.
I have a query which might be a novice level for you. I want to know how to
change the background and text colours in the R console. Doing google
searches, I found to go to preferences in Edit and to change them. All I
could do is to change the colours and then save them as a format and on each
usage, I have to load those setup using the saved file.
I want to change this once for all. And am crazy about the MATRIX themes, so
I would like to have the black as background and green2 as the text file.
Please help me in this.
And by the way, I use Windows 7, and installed R 2.13.0 version.
Regards,
Vinay
Look for the file Rconsole in the RHome/etc folder.
Then look for (near the bottom):
## Colours for console and pager(s)
# (see rwxxxx/etc/rgb.txt for the known colours).
background = White
normaltext = NavyBlue
usertext = Red
highlight = DarkRed
Adjust to suit your tastes and save.
For example, my aging eyes prefer
background = black
normaltext = DarkSeaGreen
usertext = yellow
highlight = HotPink
And you should really consider updating your R version.
