Setting background color for TCC Tab window

[MGibs]

I'm trying to set my TCC tab colors to bright white on blue in Version 37.

I have set my preferred colors in the TCC Options tab.

When Take Command starts, the default TCC tab displays like this:

The Foreground and Background color for the rendered text uses my settings, but the whitespace in the console is still rendered as a black background. I'm trying to get the entire window to be drawn with the dark blue background color.

A similar issue also existed in Version 36. I was able to work around this by adding the following command to my TCStart.btm

color /A bright white on blue

Under Version 36, the resulted in changing the window to my desired colors. From that point on everything was displayed as I would have expected.

Under Version 37, this changes the colors on the visible screen, but as soon as a command produces output which causes the screen display to scroll (e.g. a Dir command) then the lines beyond the scroll point are once again rendered with only the output text in my desired colors.

I tried issuing a CLS command in my TCStart, and that had the same effect as the Color /A command - the displayed lines show a black background once the display starts to scroll again.

I then tried issuing a CLS /C in my TCStart, and that was an effective workaround. From that point on all the output was displayed as I expected.

I still think that there is an issue in the way TCC Version 36 and 37 treat the color settings. I don't think I should have to execute an extra COLOR or CLS /c command to set the entire TCC display area to the colors I prefer.

Am I missing something in the settings to set TCC colors for a TCC tab to behave the way I want?

Is anyone else successfully changing the TCC background color to something other than black?

Setting colors in TCC does not change the default colors used in TCMD for the tab windows. Set your default fg / bg colors in the TCMD configuration dialog.

Thanks Rex.

I've set the colors in TCMD like this.

Something still seems amiss. Now I'm getting this output when TCMD starts.

Is there a different place I should be setting the default colors in TCMD options?
And any idea why the background is now red?

I wouldn't be using the Take Command settings for this. Rather, use TCC's OPTION dialog. There are lots of color options on the Windows tab; start with the 'Output' defaults. Alternatively, you can use cls /c in your TCstart.btm file.

Thanks Charles - In the first post in this thread I described how I set the Output colors in the TCC options. I think I have already done what you suggested. I was following Rex's suggestion to set the colors in the TCMD options, and it appears that even though I set them to a blue background, the background is being displayed as red.
