Changing the Look of the R Screen

The default settings of the command window are inoffensive to most people, but you can change them if you don't like them. The Rgui Configuration Editor under Edit/GUI preferences ... is used to change the look of the screen. You can change the colour of the input line (default is red), the output line (default navy) or the background (default white). The default numbers of rows (25) and columns (80) can be changed, and you have control over the font (default Courier New) and font size (default 10).
