I think we should do more than this trivial change. The two real dialogs
used by the data editor would then also get the new background color
(setting the cell width, the "variable" editor). Then, the code clearly
distinguishes between cells for names (row, column) and cells for data,
so
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
A criticism of your suggestion is that it is not backwards compatible.
Does that matter? I don't know, but probably not. The X11 version of
the viewer does what you suggest.

About the decisions:
Actually, the same way dataedittext modifies the text colour not only
of data, but also of row and column names, and dataedituser modifies
the colour of all the borders, I think dataeditbg should modify the
background of all the window, at least that "inside" those
borders.
This seems like something that should be fairly easily doable. Why
don't you work out a patch?
Some decisions to make:
- What colours are we talking about? Would you want the labels to have
their colour set independent of the dialog colours? If so, would you
also want to configure the
Thanks again Duncan and Ivan,
I forward then the email to R-devel.
Summarizing, the dataedit options (in RGui preferences or RConsole) to
colouring the View output do not have effect on the background of the row
and column names (see https://ibb.co/Dkn2pVs).
Could this be implemented?
Thank
