An RStudio theme inspired by Visual Studio Code.
RStudio 1.2.x or higher.
Get the package:
remotes::install_github("anthonynorth/rscodeio")
rscodeio
modifies the theme of RStudio menus. These are not exposed by the current theming API and so this is achieved by modifying style sheets in the RStudio installation. To modify files in this area will likely require the installation to be run with administrator privileges. To do this:
sudo rstudio --no-sandbox
From within RStudio running as administrator, run this command to install and apply the theme:
rscodeio::install_theme()
And close RStudio. Reopen it in the normal way and the theme should be fully applied.
Once installed it can also be selected using the RStudio theme picker in the usual way.
For best results, make sure the following settings are enabled:
rscodeio
modifies UI elements that are not part of standard theming. This means the RStudio file menus will remain dark even if you switch to another theme. To revert them, within an RStudio session run as administrator, use: rscodeio::deactivate_menu_theme
. Reactivate again with: rscodeio::activate_menu_theme
.
rscodeio
has only been tested on Windows and Pop!_OS Linux so far. Feedback from other platforms welcome.
