CMD Themes

This is a collection of color themes for cmd.exe of Microsoft Windows, inspired by this solarized theme. It consists of simulations of some well-known color themes in different terminals and dev environments.

The environments/editors that serves me as example of imitation are:

  • Ubuntu terminal (purple background + white font)
  • Turbo Pascal environment (dark blue background + yellow font)
  • Legacy computers' terminal, like those of IBM in the later 80s' of last century (black background + green font).

Transparency is added for aesthetic reason. I also found that it increases readability.

Instead of importing Registry entries, I decide to show the configuration in images, because of a strange fact: each executable/shortcut of cmd.exe has its own configuration, so the config can only be done at executable/shortcut level. Change color settings in "Properties" only affects current cmd executable/shortcut and will not affect Registry entries' value, and edit colors in "Defaults" will change registry color tables, but these values will never be used by other shortcuts. It will only be used if you right click Start Menu to launch "Command Prompt".

Experiment: you can try to:

  1. anchor a shortcut of cmd to task bar;
  2. create a shortcut in desktop;
  3. type cmd in search bar to find the executable;
  4. find C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe and run it.

Their color in "Properties" can be all different, and "Defaults" color are always available to change, but never used in these cases.

The colors you set in 4) will be used by cmd window launched in context menu. (Shift + right click and choose "Open Command Prompt here").
