How To Customize The Command Prompt(cmd) In Windows Vista/Windows 7
Do you like the default Command Prompt
screen in Windows? If not, then you can customize it to your needs by
changing the layout, font, and color. There are many reasons why users
customize their command prompt, some increase the width because they
have to write long codes, some change the size of their fonts to look
bigger, etc. The default command prompt style is too common these days,
to make mine different I changed the background so that it can match the
Windows 7 wallpaper on the desktop.
Cool, right? Anyways this is how you do it. Right-click the window and select properties as shown in the screenshot below.
Now go to fonts tab for changing the font type and size. If you are sitting a little too far from the monitor, you can increase the font size.
If you are a developer and work a lot on command prompts then you can go to Layout tab and increase the width and height of windows, you can change other layouts as well.
Finally comes the interesting part, in the Colors tab you can change the color of screen text, screen background, popup text, and popup background. If you are an advanced user, you can also select the color values manually.
While customizing the command prompt there is a preview screen where you can check the change before implementing it. Wasn’t it easy? Enjoy!
