Overview

About

Maintained by Diego HernangómezCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Create, convert and install custom 'RStudio' editor themes from 'Visual Studio Code', 'Positron' and 'TextMate' theme files. Convert themes between 'TextMate', 'Visual Studio Code' and 'Positron' formats and install bundled ports of popular themes for use in 'RStudio'. Inspect theme files as tabular data for custom conversion workflows.

Changes in 1.2.0

Added "Barbie Theme" by Milene Toazza and "Bluloco Light" by Umut Topuzoglu.
convert_to_rstudio_theme() no longer tries to apply a theme after its installation fails. It also builds inherited ACE scope styles reliably when a theme mixes top-level and nested scopes.
install_rstudiothemes() now reports theme-copy failures instead of claiming that every requested theme was installed.
install_rstudiothemes(), list_rstudiothemes() and try_rstudiothemes() now report actions and unmatched themes with safer, clearer **cli** markup.
read_vs_theme() now preserves double slashes inside JSON strings when it removes comments.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rstudiothemes", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dieghernan/rstudiothemes")

Development version from dieghernan/rstudiothemes. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rstudiothemes

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rstudiothemes

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rstudiothemes

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
