Change text color in Console

Hello,

I would like to know how to color the text displayed in the console?

Thank you for your help.

In .Xresources you can specify colours for your term. Eg:

Code:

---

aterm*foreground: green
aterm*background: black

xterm*foreground: green
xterm*background: black

urxvt*foreground: green
urxvt*background: black

---

etc. man xterm or xterm --help for full options.

After changing the file you may need to do:

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

hi,
only for you or for all users of your program? right click at the top of your console and options, if not regrarde side of the library windows.h

this will change the text color in console

Code:

---

/ / coloring function ->
  void colo (WORD Attributes)
  (
  HANDLE GetStdHandle H = (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
  SetConsoleTextAttribute (H, Attributes);
  )
  / / <- Coloring function

---

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
HANDLE hConsole;
int bb;

hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);


for(bb = 0; bb < 254; bb++)
{
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, bb);
printf("%3d %s\n", bb, "it will display own color");
}

getchar();
return 0;
