Tuesday, 6th of Nov 2007, I was experimenting with the extensibility of windows terminal (cmd prompt). I found an interesting software that did that. You can also checkout from here. Its a nice piece of enhancement which looks very cool. After using it, I wondered why none cared to enhance the default command prompt? Probably micro$oft is not into command mode at all.
The image is a cropped desktop. Transparency setting makes this console awesome looking. You can’t really differentiate between your desktop and the console. Most of my work involves console and I was bugged with the plain command prompt of windows as well as cygwin. Cygwin is better to an extent. I never went hacking cygwin so if you could do what console has done, then i would be happy
One thing i liked about console was the configuration tweaks that you can do. I am still playing with it and hence have none to show here. When I do configure to my liking i will post the configuration here. Its actually very easy to do the changes. The configuration reads xml and as you know its a plain text file which can be modified by the text editors. Here is a screen shot of my desktop. This is just to illustrate how it looks!
For certain font selection which can be selected from various configurations, copy is disabled and it seems that it won’t be implemented
Apart from this, its a nice utility to have.
