R help - May 2024 - Is there some way to customize colours for the View output?

Hi all,

I've just could test your suggestions on using dataedit... entries now, and
indeed they work... partially. See, please, the next screenshot:
https://ibb.co/Dkn2pVs


dataedituser modifies the red borders
dataedittext the yellow text
dataeditfg... I do not know, specified to green the output of View(mtcars) does
not change from that of the screenshot
dataeditbg is the (almost) black background...., but in the column and row
names.

I tried the modifying the different colours through the GUI preferences, and the
background colour for column and row names did not change. May this be a bug?


Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Iago

I just tried it on an old Windows computer.  I don't see dataeditfg in 
the preferences menu; I think it is the internal variable name used for 
"dataedittext".

The row and column names don't appear to be controllable from that menu, 
they seem (on my machine) to be displayed in the same colour as the 
background of a dialog box, i.e. some kind of gray.  I don't think R 
tries to control that colour, but perhaps some Windows setting would 
change it.
