[ESS] emacs theme for polymode with noweb files

[Hüsing, Johannes]

Thanks, Tyler, for the directions, which made me burn office hours while looking fort he optimal font face.

One of these faces seems to be assigned to documenting the contents of a tidyverse object. Via the link you can find the face used for printing a data frame vs printing a tibble. The latter one has issues with foreground and background being to similar, as you can see in https://i.imgur.com/Q2lez8e.png (sorry if i am not aware of the custom method of posting images).

Following your directions of
> Put the cursor over the offending characters, and call the function `M-x describe-face`.
I get the following:

Documentation:
Basic default face.

Defined in ‘faces.el’.


           Family: Consolas
          Foundry: outline
            Width: normal
           Height: 102
           Weight: normal
            Slant: normal
       Foreground: #f8f8f2
DistantForeground: unspecified
       Background: #282a36
        Underline: nil
         Overline: nil
   Strike-through: nil
              Box: nil
          Inverse: nil
          Stipple: nil
             Font: #<font-object -outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1>
          Fontset: -outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-auto1
           Extend: nil
          Inherit: nil

Clearly, the offending character is a lot darker than it yould be if it used the foreground of the basic default face.
Is ESS using the "DistantForeground" and interpreting "unspecified" as "black"?

Is there a proper way to let ESS format outputs as default foreground on default background, regardless if it's printing from tidyverse objects or base R objects?

Otherwise, the dracula theme works fine with me. Even the auto-dim-other-buffers-mode works like a charm for both light and dark themes. It's just that the workflow suggested here does not work as nicely as I hoped it to do.

Cheers

Johannes
