_Epergoes_ - A colourblind-safe light theme for RStudio
===========================================================
_Epergoes_\* is a theme for RStudio that I designed to meet
a few key needs:
1. **Be a colourblind-safe light theme**; most colourblind-safe themes
seem to be dark.
2. **Don't use colour for type indication.** I don't get any utility out of
seeing Numerics in a different colour than Logicals; I already know this
by reading the code. There is one exception...
3. **Use colour to show unclosed Character strings.** In _Epergoes_, strings
get a coloured background so that if a string isn't closed properly, you
will see that background colour spread to the rest of your code immediately.
4. **Facilitate code skimming.** I often scroll through scripts looking for
section headers, so those show up as fat blue lines. I often scan code
blocks by looking for the functions used in them, so function names show
as bold blue text.
5. **Make comments hyper-visible.** Good comments communicate important
information about the *rationale and intent* of code that can't be
communicated by the code itself. For example, why did you omit a variable
from your models when the variable seems very relevant? Comments in
_Epergoes_ are therefore [loud and visible][1].
Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------
You need to be running RStudio v 1.2.x or greater.
First, install the `rstudioapi` package.
``` r
install.packages("rstudioapi")
```
Then, run the command below to install the theme.
``` r
rstudioapi::addTheme("https://github.com/DesiQuintans/epergoes/releases/download/1.0.0/Epergoes_Light.rstheme",
apply = TRUE, force = TRUE)
```
You can change the active theme at any time by going to (Tools → Global
Options → Appearance) and applying a new theme.
The theme can be uninstalled by selecting it in the list and clicking (Remove).
