Apparently Microsoft has finally changed the Windows 10 terminal colours from the traditional Windows 3.1 16 color palette to something a bit more readable. Unfortunately, GNOME Terminal doesn't exactly make it easy to set a custom palette. There's a lot of cool colour schemes in the world, but while every terminal has the same basic colour settings, there's a bunch of weird colour-scheme formats; it seems like there's a great opportunity for somebody to write a tool to convert between them. Preferably one that doesn't involve downloading shell-scripts from the internet and automatically running them. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. |

I like that Microsoft says it is because of modern high-contrast LCDs, when the colors are only a problem because LCDs are lower-contrast than CRTs were. SAVE US, SED! I MEAN PLASMA! I MEAN DLP! I MEAN OLED! --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

I tend to use bright schemes wherever I go so my terminal is usually pure black on white, cannot stand it when non block solid colours are used on a terminal screen, it just isnt right to me :P |

All I want is a native xterm port for Windows, preferably as a cmd.exe (or whatever MS uses nowadays to render console apps) replacement. Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

cmd.exe uses the Console subsystem so the closest to "whatever MS uses nowadays to render console apps" would be... it was conhost.exe in Win7, at least. |

Also, MS is trying to retire cmd in favor of powershell. Alsoalso, Linux Subsystem for Windows will get you your lunixy bash interface. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Powershell is annoying, it needs some commands to be prefixed with .\ and you also need to run some specific command before you can execute a PowerShell script with the necessary privileges (can't just run Powershell as an Administrator).https://imgur.com/a/z560BvO AMD Ryzen 3700X | MSI Gamer Geforce 1070Ti 8GB | 16GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM | ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi) Motherboard | Windows 10 x64 |

Posted by Nicholas Steel No lie. it needs some commands to be prefixed with .\ That is for running an executable, as opposed to an internal command. IF you're in, say C:\MAME, you'd have to type .\mame64 to run the emulator, because it enforces a distinction between commands and files. . is just the current directory, so it is the same as typing c:\mame\mame64.exe

Posted by Screwtape base16 sounds like what you want. It supports Gnome Terminal. Posted by tomman Cygwin had (has? haven't used it in years) a terminal that could run cmd.exe and other such programs. Don't remember the name but it looked good. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |
