Shark007 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I know i've seen a registry tweak here on the MSFN forums somewhere concerning changing the default colour of the TEXT that appears in a dos prompt window. (I've attempted several searches already)The example colour along with the reg. tweak was green,which IS the color i wish to change it to.If anyone can direct me to the post,or assist me with the registry tweak,I'd be gratefulShark007
SlimShady Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 C:\>COLOR /?Sets the default console foreground and background colors.COLOR [attr] attr Specifies color attribute of console outputColor attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the firstcorresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digitcan be any of the following values: 0 = Black 8 = Gray 1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue 2 = Green A = Light Green 3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua 4 = Red C = Light Red 5 = Purple D = Light Purple 6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow 7 = White F = Bright WhiteIf no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it waswhen CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current consolewindow, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registryvalue.The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to executethe COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are thesame.Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright whiteAbove command you can use in batch file or manually in a dos prompt.If you want to make it the default color:start REGEDITbrowse to this key:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]double click on DefaultColorenter the color as mentioned above (the two characters)export the keyGood luck!
