Rstudio Appearance in Positron

[seewe]

I saw that Positron Actually use most of the color theme in VScode market place. Which is already great !
Please is it easy and possible to add default theme colors in Rstudio in Positron ? It will make developper familiar with the new interface ! Thank !

We don't plan to exactly reproduce the themes from RStudio, given what a plethora of theme extensions are out there available for VS Code / Positron. If you are interested in something that looks very much like RStudio, you may want to look for themes like this one that have been built to emulate RStudio!

The biggest issues I have in terms of getting used to the appearance of Positron (from RStudio) are lack of clear border separation between panels and lack of color differentiation in console text. Despite all the obvious improvements that Positron offers, it is really difficult for my brain to work around these and I end up moving back to RStudio.

One of the great things about building on the VS Code infrastructure is that you can customize a lot of this. If you are someone who likes more dramatic border separation between panels, you can do that via user-level theming. Look for items called "border" on that page, and you might try something like this in your settings.json:

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "panel.border": "#333",
        "statusBar.border": "#333",
        "activityBar.border": "#333",
        "sideBar.border": "#333"      
    }
