GitHub Dark for RStudio

A 'Total IDE' build of the GitHub Dark theme for RStudio.

Installation

FIRST: In RStudio, go to Global Options -> Appearance and ensure either Modern or Sky are selected as the RStudio Theme at the top

Automatic

Run the following snippet in the RStudio Console:

rstudioapi::addTheme("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtjohnson12/rstudio-themes/master/src/github-dark.rstheme", apply=TRUE, force=TRUE)

Note that this will override any other theme named 'GitHub Dark' you may have (this can be controlled by removing the force=True argument).

If you get the error:

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'rstudioapi'

run install.packages('rstudioapi') and try again.

Manual

• Download the github-dark.rstheme file from this repository (or clone)
• In RStudio go to Global Options -> Appearance, and click the Add... button under Editor Theme
• Navigate to the downloaded github-dark.rstheme file, hit Open and you're good to go

Info

This theme was adapted from this theme. The editor font I use is Fira Code, and the majority of the UI font is Open Sans. It is not necessary to install these.
