[R] Is there some way to customize colours for the View output?

[Iago Giné Vázquez]

Hi all,

As the email subject tells, I write to ask if there is the chance to customize the colours (and in particular the background) of the `View` output window.


In the View help, it is told that:

    On Windows, the initial size of the data viewer window is taken from the default dimensions of a pager (see Rconsole), but adjusted downwards to show a whole number of rows and columns.

So if it works for the sizes, it could work for the colours. But after modifying

## Colours for console and pager(s)
# (see rwxxxx/etc/rgb.txt for the known colours).
background = gray9
normaltext = yellow
usertext = YellowGreen
highlight = golderod

I did not have success.

On the other hand, in the data.entry it is told that

    The data entry window responds to X resources of class R_dataentry. Resources foreground, background and geometry are utilized.

But I do not know if this is related and how to modify those resources.

Can someone help me?

If this is not possible, is there any chance of making a feature request of this to R-devel? (I mean, I could write to R-devel list, but do you think there would be any interest in developing this?)

Thanks!
Best regards,

Iago
