When it
comes to Command Prompt, it feels boring to deal with it. That black screen
with white text force us to close it,
isn’t it? So this is how you can change the color of the text as well as the
color of the background of command Prompt. First open the run dialogue box with
“Windows+r” shortcut key, type in “cmd”, hit enter it will open the cmd. Now
that you have opened cmd, you want to change the colors. There are two ways to
change the colors. They are (1) Using commands and (2) Using Properties. Lets
first see using commands.
(1)
Using Commands
No matter you are in which drive or folder, you can
accomplish this task. Now you need to type “color X” where “X” is the color code that you need
to mention instead of X. You can replace the color code given below with the
color name. For example = “color A” this will change the color of the text from
white to green. (And this looks really great
;) ). Thing to remember is that the spelling should be "color" not "colour". The Command Prompt will give an error if you write "colour", so track that.
A = Light Green
B = Light Aqua
C = Light Red
D = Light Purple
E = Light Yellow
F = Bright White
0 = Black
1 = Blue
2 = Green
3 = Aqua
4 = Red
5 = Purple
6 = Yellow
7 = White
8 = Grey
9 = Light Blue
(2)
Using Properties
Another way to change the color is by Using Properties. This
option provides you a good GUI to deal with properties of the command Prompt.
You can not only change colors but also other properties like the size of Font,
Size of window, Nature of Font etc. So to do that you need to go to the top bar
and do right click. Options will pop up, from there select “Properties”. Here
you can change all the settings from here.
In the properties menu you will find 4 tabs saying 1.Option 2.Font 3.Layout
4.Colors.Each of these tabs are very easy to use and understand.
