Re: [EXTERNAL] RDi 9.8 Source Code Editor Font

You think installing RDi is hard? Wait until you dive into plug-in's--it
makes every professional wrestling match combined look like Philadelphia's
Charity Ball.

I went to the Eclipse Marketplace and installed "Eclipse Enterprise and
Java Web Development Tools"; IIRC, that's a prerequisite for Darkest Dark.
The process was a huge PITA but worth it.

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.

Having a hard time adjusting to v9.8 versus v9.6. I'm finding it much
more difficult to read. Everything has a "washed out" look.

I've been messing around trying to get the same font used as in v9.6 - I
think I'm using the default in the older version. Any idea if I can get
v9.8 to use the same font? If so, what value am I looking for?

The source code in 9.8 is larger, yet more difficult to read.
