[R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script
Sorry, I don't use Windows... can't help there. It's customary to keep cc'ing the list on these sorts of things so someone with a more similar platform/ more expertise can take the issue up if needed. Maybe someone else will be able to help you out. Michael On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:05 AM, geo theory <geotheory1 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi there > > Window 7.

[R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script
Hi Isn't possible just to change values in etc/Rconsole file? ## Colours for console and pager(s) # (see rwxxxx/etc/rgb.txt for the known colours). background = White normaltext = NavyBlue usertext = Red highlight = DarkRed You can customise it and keep your setting somewhere. With each new installation just copy appropriate part aof Rconsole file and save it.
