Recently, I changed the appearance of my R studio to Xcode. I liked its text color on the scripts part but didn't like the color on the console. It doesn't have a different color option for error and warning messages. So, I want to go back to the default one, whatever the R Studio comes with. How can I do it?
The default RStudio theme is 'Modern' the default editor theme is TextMate.
To change the Editor theme to default you must go to Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance. Then, in the Editor theme section you have to select TextMate(defauilt) which is the default editor theme you have when you install RStudio.
If you are trying to change the appearance you can do this by going to Tools -> Global Options -> Appearance. There are several options for the Rstudio theme and the editor.
The RStudio Support describes this in greater depth.
Can we change color settings of VS Code Integrated Terminal? Mine looks dull with just white.
You can actually modify your user settings and edit each colour individually by adding the following to the user settings.
Open user settings (Ctrl+,)
Search for workbench and select Edit in settings.json under Color Customizations
"workbench.colorCustomizations" : {
"terminal.foreground" : "#00FD61",
"terminal.background" : "#383737"
}
For more on what colors you can edit you can find out here.
In case you are color picky, use this code to customize every segment.
Step 1:
Open user settings
Windows: Ctrl+,
Mac: CMD+Shift+P
Step 2:
Search for "workbench: color customizations" and select Edit in settings.json.
Page the following code inside existing {} and customize as you like.
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.background":"#131212",
"terminal.foreground":"#dddad6",
"terminal.ansiBlack":"#1D2021",
"terminal.ansiBrightBlack":"#665C54",
"terminal.ansiBrightBlue":"#0D6678",
"terminal.ansiBrightCyan":"#8BA59B",
"terminal.ansiBrightGreen":"#237e02",
"terminal.ansiBrightMagenta":"#8F4673",

},
Resource: This site has VS Code themes you can copy/paste in settings. https://glitchbone.github.io/vscode-base16-term/#/
VSCode comes with in-built color themes which can be used to change the colors of the editor and the terminal.
For changing the color theme press Ctrl+K+T in windows/ubuntu or CMD+K+T on mac.
Alternatively you can open command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P in windows/ubuntu or CMD+Shift+P on mac and type color. Select preferences: color theme from the options, to select your favourite color.
You can also install more themes from the extensions menu on the left bar. just search category:themes to install your favourite themes. (If you need to sort the themes by installs search category:themes #sort:installs)
Edit - for manually editing colors in terminal
VSCode team have removed customizing colors from user settings page. Currently using the themes is the only way to customize terminal colors in VSCode. For more information check out issue #6766
Add workbench.colorCustomizations to user settings
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.background":"#FEFBEC",
"terminal.foreground":"#6E6B5E",
...
}
Check https://glitchbone.github.io/vscode-base16-term for some presets.
The best colors I've found --which aside from being so beautiful, are very easy to look at too and do not boil my eyes-- are the ones I've found listed in this GitHub repository: VSCode Snazzy
Very Easy Installation:
Copy the contents of snazzy.json into your VS Code "settings.json" file.
(In case you don't know how to open the "settings.json" file, first hit Ctrl+Shift+P and then write Preferences: open settings(JSON) and hit enter).
_Notice:_ For those who have tried ColorTool and it works outside VSCode but not inside VSCode, you've made no mistakes in implementing it, that's just a decision of VSCode developers for the VSCode's terminal to be colored independently.
Go to the settings of VSCode
On Windows/Linux - File > Preferences > Settings or Shortcut(ctrl,)
On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings or Shortcut (⌘,) or Search (⇧⌘P) → “Preferences: Open Settings”
Search for "workbench: color customizations" and open the settings.json file
You can see workbench.colorCustomizations as empty if you are editing it for the first time,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
}
Edit or Paste your configuration under workbench.colorCustomizations
Fill it with your customized options,
I sharing Isotope theme here
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"terminal.background":"#000000",
"terminal.foreground":"#D0D0D0",
"terminalCursor.background":"#D0D0D0",
"terminalCursor.foreground":"#D0D0D0",
"terminal.ansiBlack":"#000000",
"terminal.ansiBlue":"#0066FF",
"terminal.ansiBrightBlack":"#808080",
"terminal.ansiBrightBlue":"#0066FF",
"terminal.ansiBrightCyan":"#00FFFF",
"terminal.ansiBrightGreen":"#33FF00",
"terminal.ansiBrightMagenta":"#CC00FF",
"terminal.ansiBrightRed":"#FF0000",
"terminal.ansiBrightWhite":"#FFFFFF",
"terminal.ansiBrightYellow":"#FF0099",
"terminal.ansiCyan":"#00FFFF",
"terminal.ansiGreen":"#33FF00",
"terminal.ansiMagenta":"#CC00FF",
"terminal.ansiRed":"#FF0000",
"terminal.ansiWhite":"#D0D0D0",
"terminal.ansiYellow":"#FF0099"
}

I use Oh My Zsh. It takes the dullness away and also have nice features.

Check also VSCode 1.61 (Sept. 2021) with:
Issue 128228 "Support setting terminal color in TerminalOptions | ExtensionTerminalOptions"
PR 128856
commit ad59706
It adds:
export interface TerminalOptions {
/**
* Supports all ThemeColor keys, terminal.ansi* is recommended for contrast/consistency
*/
color?: ThemeColor;
}
export interface ExtensionTerminalOptions {
/**
* Supports all ThemeColor keys, terminal.ansi* is recommended for contrast/consistency
*/
color?: ThemeColor;
}
Simply. You can go to 'File -> Preferences -> Color Theme' option in visual studio and change the color of you choice.
On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings or Shortcut (⌘,) or Search (⇧⌘P) → “Preferences: Open Settings”

Could anyone please explain me where I should place the Pycharm themes?
It seems that all forum posts are for older versions of either osx or pycharm.
I have also tried https://github.com/d1ffuz0r/pycharm-themes with git, but still the themes doesnt appear under "Apperance - themes"
Depending on what OS you're using for example on Windows they go in
C:\Users{username}.PyCharm30\config\colors
Reload the application and select the "Settings" from the toolbar
Editor > Colors & Fonts > Python > Select the desired theme from the dropdown
I watch a lot of tutorials on the web, expesially ASP.NET tutorials - And constantly notice that everyone seems to have VS set with a black background and yellow/white text?
Why is this? and how can I set up my version to look like it?
Thanks
It is Rob Conery's TextMate theme that you want.
After Download in Studio ... Tools > Import & export settings and follow the wizard.
Share and enjoy!
Edit: Link updated
For VS2012 :
if you want to simply change the default black and white background then ;
Go to Tools ->Options -> Environment -> General.
Right side pan, you you will see Color theme drop down;select Dark or light in order to get basic black and white background.
if you want to change default color,Font or Font size then you select ;
Tools ->Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
Now, Visual Studio 2012 supports black theme.
To change to black theme :
Tools -> Options -> Visual Experience -> Color theme
Check out shanselmans blog article about this, he lists quite a few of them, so pick one you like. Personally, I've got the Monaco font installed, and I love it!
In Visual Studio 2017 you can do the following:
Tools -> Options.. -> Environment -> General -> Color theme -> Dark -> OK
you can do this by taking visual studio tools - > options - > font and colors and set what ever you want in font and text.
If you want some background image means : try this tool
I personally find it easier to read, and the colors can have more subtle hues and convey more meaning for me.
I used this scheme to start with: https://web.archive.org/web/20080116232122/http://www.agileprogrammer.com/dotnetguy/archive/2006/09/07/19030.aspx
Go to VS -> Tools -> Options.
It has list of settings you can change.
For changing color; look left side pane and select Fonts and color.
You also can change default Item foreground and item background color as your wish from right side pane.
In VS 2015, go to tools>>options>>environment>>general>>dark
That's the theme I see most people use, and it feels much better on the eyes.
Select : Tools > Options > General > Color Theme > Dark
You can also change the font by selecting :
Select : Tools > Options > General > Fonts and Colors > ...
For me:
Tools > Options > Environment > Color theme(from dropdown select): > Blue
