TCMD and TCC Colors

[CWBillow]

Why is it seeming impossible for me to gel these two programs to have black backgrounds? I have tried several variations and I end up with blue.

You probably have a custom color palette defined in your console properties.

Ah me... so uninstalling and reinstalling TCMD wouldn't help, would it? 'Cause I don't see anywhere to change / fix this.

I found the command in tcstart that dictated white on blue, and that cured tcc, but not tcmd.

Colors in TCMD are set in the TCMD.INI file. In TCMD, click on the Options menu, and select "Take Command". Click on "Tabs:", and your TCMD colors will be in the "Windows" section.

Here are a couple .REG files. Either one, when imported into the registry, will set the colors in HKCU\Console to default values. The old colors go back decades; the new ones (my preference) are more recent, basically the same but a little subdued. If you also have a registry key like HKCU\Console\Path_to_TCC.exe (I have many, see below) and that key contains color values (ColorTable00 - ColorTable15), you might also delete those color values. That should reset the colors in consoles.

I also have this in TCMD.INI. I believe they correspond to the new console colors.

Vince, I used the "old" colors, and that did it! Many, many thanks!

Question: When I run TCMD, it also has PowerShell and a CMD tabs. These remained with blue backgrounds. Is there a way to get these to black backgrounds as well?

Not sure. Look in the ...PowerShell and ...CMD subkeys of HKCU\Console and see if colors are defined. That might be doing it.
