R gui monokai

Is there a way that does not involve a lot of time (because it is a purely cosmetic issue) to turn the Mac R GUI in the Monokai color scheme?

R...
Preferences...
Console Color wheel...

I've tried to set mine to solarized dark and they're reasonably close
and easier on the eyes. You have to set each color manually. The
Syntax color wheel is for the editor window. The only issue I've had
is that when you paste code from a webpage it carries with it
background and text colors until you save, reload.

I got the colors from here for Solarized: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

It would be nice to have a way to load a "theme" of colors for the
console and Syntax. Like you can in BBedit/TextWrangler or Xcode.

That?s a ?my eye? match, and more bother than I am prepared to put in.
or RStudio (which has a much worse graphical engine for complex plots, so I try to avoid it).

It's not really an eye match if you have the hex code or RGB for the
colors that you want, just click on the color and you can type in
exactly what you want. I agree, it's a little more work than it could
be. That being said, I wouldn't know how to implement a theming system
for it so I'm not much use to Simon et al. It would be an attractive
option to have though.

FWIW the colors are stored in 
~/Library/Preferences/org.R-project.R.plist
along with all other settings, so if you post that you can share your settings with others. It would certainly be doable to split off the colors piece into a separate file so you can load/save themes. As always, most work would go into creating a GUI to select themes, but simple load/save would be reasonably easy to add.
