To configure Command Prompt, the first thing you gotta do is to open it.
To do this, press the Windows key, punch in cmd or Command Prompt, then hit enter.
Next, right-go for the top bar of Command Prompt.
The bottom two options are important, Defaults and Properties.
Defaults sets system wide Command Prompt controls, that will apply to any shortcut used to open Command Prompt.
Properties overrides the Defaults for that one shortcut to open Command Prompt.
Tip: Opening Command Prompt through the method described uses a specific shortcut.
Instead, it will use the values specified by Defaults.
As long as you never edit Properties, then Defaults will apply to all Command Prompt windows.
To configure the appearance of the text in Command Prompt, switch to the Font tab.
The Bold fonts checkbox, allows you to make all fonts slightly more defined.
Use the Fonts tab to configure the text size and font.
To configure Command Prompts colours, switch to the Colours tab.
Screen Text affects the colour of text, whileScreen Background affects the background colour of Command Prompt.
Again, Popup Text affect the text colour in popup boxes and Popup Background affects the background colour.
The changes are previewed in the Selected Screen Colours section.
This method doesnt have the convenient pre-set colours selection though.
Use the Colours tab to configure the colours of Command Prompts text and background.
Once youve made all the changes you want, click OK in the bottom-right corner.
For the changes to properly take effect you may need to relaunch Command Prompt.
