Re: [R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script window text colour option is missing
Hi there, its Windows 7 (32 bit) platform. Yes, I used R Studio when I started learning, but now prefer the simpler basic GUI. Maybe I'll have to go back to it, although that would seem like such a pointlessly ridiculous defeat by poor GUI design! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Rconsole-file-fails-to-remember-GUI-settings-and-script-window-text-colour-option-is-missing-tp4592349p4593012.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

You can suppress the lookup by putting --no-Rconsole on the command line. If the original poster is finding the colours aren't working when he's sure he's got the right file, please post details.

Re: [R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script
Sorry, I don't use Windows... can't help there. It's customary to keep cc'ing the list on these sorts of things so someone with a more similar platform/ more expertise can take the issue up if needed. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out. Michael On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:05 AM, geo theory wrote: > Hi there > > Window 7.

Re: [R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script window text colour option is missing
The GUI's are OS specific -- which is yours? You might also want to check out RStudio -- also open source -- which provides a very nice cross-platform IDE: http://rstudio.org/ There are nice coloration options (both customizable and by default) -- I quite like the cobalt theme Michael On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 7:04 AM, geotheory wrote: > Am encountering two related problems since the 2.15 release.
