[R-SIG-Mac] colors from RGui in RStudio

[peter dalgaard]

Neither does any of the rest of us, I expect... 

My guess is that first you need to 

- figure out how to edit RStudio themes. Some hints here

https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011846747-Using-RStudio-Themes

It is not completely transparent how to proceed (e.g., where are the existing themes stored??),
but it looks like the standard themes are accessible if you take the hint and enter the online tmThemes editor.

- figure out which elements in RGui correspond to which elements in RStudio

- figure out how to translate the colors. I would expect that the colorWithDeviceRed are easy conversions to
hex code (multiply by 255, round, and use sprintf("%X", ...), for instance), after which you can just type them in. 
E.g.,

colorWithDeviceRed:0.025 green:0.085 blue:0.600 alpha:1.0]

should become #061699

Dunno about colorWithCalibrated...
