#2503 — background color of the command window

How can I change the color of the command window? Not the window with the 
plot, but the window with the "gnuplot>" prompt, where you type plot log(x) of 
print 2+2.

Regards,

Hi Jean-Pierre,

it seems that you use alpine, so chances are that you use something
like an xterm to run gnuplot --- what follows stems from this
assumption :)

do you like a green background? at the gnuplot prompt type

gnuplot> !echo '^[[42;1m'

and press return (NB: you have to press Ctrl-V ESC to get the "^["
above)

so you don't like a green bg ... then ask google about ANSI color
codes

No, there is a Windows version of Alpine. I am with Windows 8.

The color doesn't matter it it helps understanding things. I'll change it 
to yellowish later on.

It opens a DOS window for a second and that's all.

In XP I could change the background color of Gnuplot, Notepad, Word and 
other applications with a right click on the desktop. But Windows 8 has 
lost this feature!

Bye,

never used gnuplot on Windows... if the following destroys your pc I
won't feel responsible

gnuplot> print '^[[42;1m'

(remember the Ctrl-V Esc stuff above)

print sprintf("%c[42;1m",27)
