Example code in help pane not readable on a mac

[pmgarafola]

Hello - On a mac, the help example code is nearly unreadable if you select one of the dark background options in Tools->Global Options-> Appearance.

For example, with the Twilight theme selected, the example code is highlighted in such a way that you almost cannot read it. The same is true for all of the dark-background themes. It doesn't seem to matter which font you use. I never had this problem in Windows.

Does anyone else have this problem and can you suggest a solution other than giving up on using the dark themes on a mac?

Unfortunately I don't see any way to attach an example here ...

I am not on a Mac but I seem to experience a similar issue on windows. I had filed a related issue here a bit earlier

RStudio 2022.02.2-485: issue with appearance

Hello, I recently updated to R 4.2. and RStudio 2022.02.2-485. When changing the appearance to a dark theme (e.g. Abdal Black Hackers 2), some parts in RStudio's "Files" or "Packages" pane are oddly displayed. As you see in the image below, e.g. the names of the packages are in a kind of hyperlink blue instead of white. The same is also with the names of the folders and files in the files pane. [image] [image] I started to notice the issue after having used the "rsthemes" package which did not darken RStudio as intended (here the issue which I filed with the package's maintainer). But after having deinstalled the rsthemes packages, reinstalled R and RStudio the issue with the wrong app…

It looks like you're seeing this issue: Support changes to R 4.2.0 help system · Issue #10839 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub

You might need a newer version of RStudio to work with R 4.2; have you tried one of the dailies?

That does appear to be the issue. But I really need a stable build of R Studio. So should I revert to an older version of R or do I just need to live with the problem until the next R Studio release?
