To change the colors of the popup windows, click the system menu icon in the title bar, and then select either Defaults to change the settings for all instances of that window, or Properties to change the current window only. Click the Colors tab, and then use the color well control options to change the values.
Changes made in the Properties dialog box are effective immediately. Changes made in the Defaults dialog box or in the registry are effective the next time you open a console window.
Note
The values in the registry reflect the default window settings.
