I use R exclusively through the Terminal on Mac OS X and just made a few changes in grDevices to improve the quartz device appearance/functionality: - I altered how the menus were created so that the "..." and "R" menus appear as "R" and "File". - I changed the dock icon to use the R logo instead of the default command line program icon. - I added a menu item to the Window menu that will show the Terminal window/tab the R process is running in. How should I go about sharing this so that I can get feedback? If others agree, it would be great to have this integrated into the release version at some point. Cheers, Colin

The standard procedure is to create diffs against R-devel and submit them to bugzilla as improvement. In this particular case you can also simply send them to me and I'll have a look. Thanks, Simon
Cheers, Colin

See the R FAQ: 'There is a section of the bug repository for suggestions for enhancements for R labelled ?wishlist?. Suggestions can be submitted in the same ways as bugs, but please ensure that the subject line makes clear that this is for the wishlist and not a bug report, for example by starting with ?Wishlist:?.'
Cheers, Colin
