RStudio v1.2+ allows for custom themes via a .rstheme
file.
This theme is losely based on the Synthwave85 RStudio theme , but with a pure black background for OLED screens. Colors were diversified to my tastes, but I utilized the same methodology for creating the subtle glow effect.
To install this theme,
- Ensure you have the latest version of RStudio (at least v1.2, which was released in April of 2019)
- Ensure you have the
rstudioapi
package installed. - Run this one line of code,
rstudioapi::addTheme("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roshandarji/synthwaveBLACK/master/SynthwaveBlack.rstheme", TRUE, TRUE, FALSE)
To change your current theme, You can select your desired Theme by going to Tools > Global Options > Appearance > Editor theme
To uninstall synthwaveBLACK (removing it from the list of available Themes), Execute the following code:
rstudioapi::removeTheme("SynthwaveBLACK")
If any areas of the theme seem off/weird, feel free to let me know under the Issues
tab.
I've copied and made extremely minor changes to the README.MD of the Synthwave85 RStudio theme. The wording and format in which the information was provided was good, so I saw no reason to change it.
