How to Customize Command Prompt Colors on Windows 11 and 10
To change the color of Command Prompt in Windows 11 or Windows 10, you can follow these steps:
Open Command Prompt:
Press Win X and select "Command Prompt" from the Power User menu.
Or, you can type /"cmd/" into the Windows search bar and press Enter.
Once Command Prompt opens, right-click the title bar at the top of the window and select "Properties."
In the Properties window, go to the /"Colors/" tab.
Here you can choose a new color scheme for your command prompt. You can either select one of the predefined color schemes from the drop-down menu or customize the colors individually.
To customize individual colors, uncheck the box labeled /"Use legacy console/" if it is checked. Next, click the color box next to the element you want to change (e.g. wallpaper, screen text, etc.) and select a new color from the palette.
After selecting the colors you want, click /"OK/" to apply the changes.
Your Command Prompt window should now reflect the new color scheme you chose.
Of course, here are some more tips to customize Command Prompt color in Windows 11 or Windows 10:
Using color controls: You can also change the text and background color directly in Command Prompt using color controls.
Save custom settings: If you have customized the Command Prompt colors to your liking, you can save these settings for later use. In the /"Properties/" window, after customizing the colors, go to the /"Default/" button and click on it. This will ask you to confirm saving the settings as new defaults. Click /"OK/" to confirm.
Transparency: Starting with Windows 10, you can also add transparency to the Command Prompt window. In the /"Properties/" window, go to the /"Colors/" tab, then move the /"Opacity/" slider to adjust the transparency. This feature may not be available on all systems, depending on your hardware and Windows version.
Use PowerShell: If you prefer to use PowerShell rather than Command Prompt, you can also customize its appearance in the same way. Simply open PowerShell, right-click the title bar, and select "Properties." From there, you can customize colors, fonts, and other settings, just like in Command Prompt.
Third-party tools: There are also third-party tools that offer more advanced customization options for Command Prompt and PowerShell. These tools can offer features like themes, additional color schemes, etc.
Remember that changes to Command Prompt or PowerShell settings will only affect the current window or session unless you save them as default. Additionally, some changes may require administrative privileges.
