R help - Oct 2008 - Change background color in script window in Windows Rgui

Does anyone know how to change the background color of the script window(s) in
Rgui on Windows?

I can use the "Gui Preferences" menu item under the Edit menu has an
option that lets you change the background color for the console window and any
help/info windows that pop up, but the script window(s) still have the white
background.  Am I missing a setting somewhere? Is this a missing feature? Is
there some reason (other than nobody getting around to it) that script windows
don't match the others (font size matches), or that they cannot be changed
on their own?

Thanks,

I think it's a bug:  the code tries to set the editor background to the 
same as the console background, but it always comes out white. I'll take 
a look.

This was a bug, will be fixed in 2.9.0 patched.
