Solve : how do I change my background in DOS??

Answer»

The background colour in DOS is white and the text is yellow and very difficult to read! Can anybody help?Open up the window and right click and select defaults. Look through the tabs and you will find the colour options. Quote from: edm on February 24, 2010, 04:41:32 AM

lol edm. I think somebody pulled a joke on you.

Here are a few examples:
(Background color, Foreground (font) color)

Black, Green
color 0a

Blue, White
color 17

White, Blue
color 71

Black, White
color 07

Enjoy.




the problem with the Color command is it isn't permanent. Changing the SELECTED Colors in the "Colors" tab From the windows System Menu's "Properties" Item is.You can make it permanent.
Here's how:

Start -> Run -> regedit


Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor

On the right pane, double-click on the AutoRun value and fill this in:
color 0a

This way, no matter when the computer starts, your commandline will remain
in this color (I chose black, green as an EXAMPLE (0a)).

My personal values for AutoRun are:
cls && cd \ && color 0a

(You don't have to do that, though, it just does the FOLLOWING:
clear the SCREEN, change DIRECTORY to root and color the background back and the foreground green.
The && binds commands together.)

Or just use the properties dialog...

LoL =P
The advantage of mine is you can do multiple things at the same time. =O Quote from: Treval on February 24, 2010, 03:46:08 PM

Changing the registry is not reccomended for non-experts.
