+==== 2023-08-13: Dynamic Plot Colors Based on the RStudio Theme ====
+I am quite excited about a new feature that will be part of the upcoming version of the metafor package. The package now creates all plots in such a way that (if one sets ''[[https://wviechtb.github.io/metafor/reference/mfopt.html|setmfopt]]''''(theme="auto")'') they will have a consistent look depending on the chosen [[https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/guide/ui/appearance.html#editor-themes|RStudio theme]]. You can see below some examples of how various plots change their look according to the theme:

+This creates a more pleasing experience when working interactively with RStudio, but could also be useful when creating presentations that do not use a white background.
+The default setting (''[[https://wviechtb.github.io/metafor/reference/mfopt.html|setmfopt]]''''(theme="default")'') uses the default colors of the plotting device (which is typically a white background and a black foreground color), but one can also use ''[[https://wviechtb.github.io/metafor/reference/mfopt.html|setmfopt]]''''(theme="dark")'' to force plots to be drawn using a 'dark mode' (this may be useful when working with a different programming editor or IDE that also uses a dark mode).
