Change Text/Background Colors In "CMD"
« on: October 13, 2009, 07:51:55 PM »
Tired of the black background/white text in "Command Prompt", change it.

Click, Start/All Programs/Accessories, right click "Command Prompt" and click "Run As Administrator"

Right click in the top border (Title Bar) and select "Properties", you"ll see 4 tabs,
Options, Font, Layout and Colors, from these tabs you can change the colors and font style that appears when you open "CMD"

Yes.
With the CMD open, right click on the Title Bar and select "properties"
Change the "Text" color, change the "Background" color and hit "OK"
You may receive a window asking to make the modification, "Make the Mod" and hit "OK", if not just hit "Enter" in CMD where it says "Press Any Key To Continue" that should save the colors.
