To set screen colors

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows Services for UNIX, and then right-click Interix Korn Shell or Interix C Shell.
2. Click Properties, and then click the Colors tab.
3. Click an element for which you want to set the color: Screen text, Screen background, Popup text or Popup background.
4. On the row of colors provided, click the color you want to use, and then click Apply.
5. If you want to set the color of another element, click that element, click the color you want, and then click Apply.
6. When you have applied all of the changes you want, click OK.
7. To see the new settings, open the shell for which you have set the colors.

Note

• You can also change console window settings from an open Interix console window. Right-click the title bar, and then click Properties. When you save the changes, you will be asked whether you want to apply the changed properties to the current window only, or to the shortcut that started the window. Choose the latter option. After using this method, commands such as clear might not work properly. To ensure that they do, close the console window, and then reopen it.
