Cascade Windows Console And Change CMD Colors With ColorConsole
Users who deal with Windows CMD utility every day hate not having enough options to change colors, open multiple windows quickly, use tabbed interface, open Windows CMD in web browsers, etc. Today we have come across yet another previously featured Console-like alternative for Windows Command Line Interpreter, called ColorConsole. Aside from adding colors to background of Windows CMD window, it incorporates a slew of GUI related features to make working in Windows command line environment not only easier but productive too. Additionally, it offers MDI based multi-tabbed interface which lets you open multiple tabs to work at multiple locations, cascade opened CMD windows in main interface, and send whole CMD interface as HTML page to default browser.
ColorConsole also contains a list of most frequently used one-click accessible commands such as, Ping, tracert, cd, tree, dir, help, etc. You can add as many commands as you want to your favorite list and edit existing list as well. The toolbar holds a command input box to directly run commands without setting focus at desired CMD insertion place. Adjacent to command box, you have options to set font styles and change font color and font background color.
