Solve : How do you change the background color and size of the cmd prompt window??

Answer»

I have a batch file that opens a DOS cmd prompt WINDOW but I am stuck on how to change the background color and size of the new cmd prompt window. I have SOMETHING like this but it's only half work (if that make any sense).

start COLOR 1E & mode 40,7 cmd.exe

The background color works but to change the size does not.

As before. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanksto change size use Code: [Select]mode con lines=x cols=y
FBSwitches must follow the program being opened. Try this to start Cmd.exe with BLUE background and green lettering in full-screen.

Code: [Select]start /max "Cmd.exe, Green on Blue" cmd /t:1a/k cls

Good luck@echo off
color 0a
mode con=50 cols=75

save as wtv.batQuote from: PirateSamir

@echo off

mode con=50 cols=75
