The change suggested by Iago Giné Vázquez is indeed very simple. It sets the background colour of the row and column headers to the background of the rest of the dataentry window. With this patch, R passes 'make check'. As Duncan Murdoch mentions, the X11 editor already behaves this way.
If it's not acceptable to make the row and column headers the same colour as the rest of the text, let's make it into a separate setting. --- src/library/utils/src/windows/dataentry.c (revision 86557) +++ src/library/utils/src/windows/dataentry.c (working copy) @@ -1474,7 +1474,7 @@ resize(DE->de, r); DE->CellModified = DE->CellEditable = FALSE; - bbg = dialog_bg(); + bbg = guiColors[dataeditbg]; /* set the active cell to be the upper left one */ DE->crow = 1; DE->ccol = 1; -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
