Windows Command Prompt – How to Change the Font

To configure Command Prompt, the first thing you need to do is to open it.

  1. Press the Windows key, type “cmd” or “Command Prompt”, then hit enter.
  2. Right-click on the top bar of Command Prompt

The bottom two options are important, “Defaults” and “Properties”. “Defaults” sets system wide Command Prompt settings, that will apply to any shortcut used to open Command Prompt. “Properties” overrides the “Defaults” for that one shortcut to open Command Prompt. As long as you never edit “Properties”, then “Defaults” will apply to all Command Prompt windows. If you ever make a change to the “Properties” of a Command Prompt window, the changes will always override the “Defaults” when that shortcut is used to open Command Prompt.

Tip: The settings in “Defaults” or “Properties” are identical, the difference is in where the changes are applied.

To configure the appearance of the text in Command Prompt, switch to the “Font” tab. Here you can edit the font size and the specific font used in the “Size” and “Font” sections respectively. The “Bold fonts” checkbox, allows you to make all fonts slightly more defined. A preview of the window size is shown in the top-right corner, and a preview of the text appearance in the bottom-left corner.

Windows Command Prompt – How to Change Colors

To configure Command Prompt’s colors, switch to the “Colors” tab. There are four settings you can change, the Screen Text, Screen Background, Popup Text, and Popup Background. “Screen Text” affects the color of text, while “Screen Background” affects the background color of Command Prompt. To set the color, select a setting you want to change, then either set an RGB value in the “Selected Color Values” section in the top-right corner, or select a pre-set color from the row of color boxes just below. The changes are previewed in the “Selected Screen Colors” section.

The two “Popup” settings affect the content of any popup boxes, such as the command history popup when you press F7. Again, “Popup Text” affect the text colour in popup boxes and “Popup Background” affects the background color.

Tip: You can also set the two “Screen” colours in the “Terminal” tab via the “Terminal Colours” section at the top. This method doesn’t have the convenient pre-set colours selection though.
