position of command screen

[codeblue]

Just changed the color of the text and the size of the command window but i was wondering if the position of the window can be defined when running my batch files? I would like it in the middle up the top.

could you please tell how you changed color and text?

Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

COLOR [attr]

attr Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can 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 White

EDIT: heres the link. http://www.computerhope.com/color.htm

I see that the original post is a couple of days old but I'll respond anyway...

You can use the CMDOW utility to postion your window.

cmdow @ /mov [ left ] [ top ]

example:

cmdow @ /mov 100 0

The above example will position your window 100 pixels from the left and 0 from the top.

Just make this the first line in your batch file. you'll have to fool around with the numbers to get the exact center.

Cheers,
