TC Pseudoconsole

[wcfi]

Hello,
I just tried to download&run take command, but the window was all white and didn't graphically update. I discovered the Options->Take Command->Advanced->Pseudoconsoles option and disabled that, closed, and restarted, and then it worked fine.

I turned Pseudoconsoles on again, restarted, and the window was white again. I tried an "echo test > testfile.txt" and the testfile.txt was created, but I was typing blindly as nothing was shown on screen, so I turned off Pseudoconsoles again. Is there anything I should have done to get it to work after install? It was a fresh install to an empty folder, no .INIs afaik, normal win 11 command prompts work fine, and AI wasn't able to help me solve it.

TCC 36.52.88 x64 Windows 11 [Version 10.0.26200.8655]

It seems as if you've got a "white on white" text colors setting somewhere. (The old hidden console windows checked for that and switched to a visible display; the ConPTY windows assume you meant to do that.)

Are you starting a TCC tab window (the default)? Try starting TCC from a CMD command line (or directly from Windows) and see what colors it is using.

I assume that you are able to see the TCMD frame window (menus, tab bar, status bar, etc.), but it's just the contents of the tab windows that are not visible? Go to Options / Configure Take Command, select the Tabs dialog, and look for the "ConPTY Tabs" group. Click on the "FG Color" and "BG Color" buttons to see what TCMD is using for the default colors.

It is a fresh install, and I thought it might be the colors (white on white), but the window doesn't graphically update in the tabbed region. It is initially all white, but if I drag the bottom right corner to shrink the window and then pull it out to be larger again, it doesn't draw. Here is a screenshot with the ribbon enabled, and tabbed toolbar.

Default ConPTY FG Color is 192/192/192, BG Color is 0/0/0.
