Re: [EXTERNAL] RDi 9.8 Source Code Editor Font

[x y <xy6581@xxxxxxxxx>]

WRT RDi's font and colors: I can't give a loud enough shout-out to the free
"Darkest Dark" plug-in from DevStyle.  The only change I made was to change
the "selected line" coloring to blue.  Visual Studio and VSCode both use
black backgrounds and I think there are many usability reasons to pick this
instead of a white background.  Font-wise, I use Andale Mono and/or Ubuntu
Mono in RDi *and* in iACS.
