NB: This guide assumes you are using RStudio v1.1 or later

Global Options

The Global Options menu (found in the Tools drop-down menu) allows you to customise the RStudio interface. This includes both aesthetic and functionality changes.

  • Appearance tab:
    • Change your IDE colour schemes with RStudio themes
    • Change your text colour schemes with Editor themes
    • Change your font with Editor fonts. Ligature-enabled fonts (none of the default fonts) let multi-character symbols like <- be displayed as a single character
