To better understand how color settings are stored, please read this blog post on Windows Console settings. If you upgraded to this new build of Windows, you will still see the original legacy colors, not the new defaults! This is because we do NOT want to* * overwrite any of your existing custom color settings. If you clean-install a new build of Windows 10 >= 16257, you’ll get the new colors as the default Console scheme. The new default colors will modernize the look of the Windows Console and make it more congruent with other terminal experiences, such as the integrated terminal in VSCode. This is particularly apparent with deeply saturated darker colors like blue. The legacy default scheme was not built for modern displays and does not render as well on newer high-contrast LCD displays. What might not be immediately apparent from the above screenshots is that we didn’t just change the blue, we actually tweaked ** all **of the colors! Why Change the Entire Color Scheme?ĭuring the past 20 years, screens & display technology, contrast ratio, and resolution have changed significantly, from CRT’s through TFT LCD’s to modern-day nano-scale 4K displays.
… and the improved blue is much more legible:
The default color values have been changed to improve legibility of darker colors on modern screens, and to give the Console a more modern look & feel.įor example, Windows Console’s legacy blue is very difficult to read on a modern high-contrast displays … The Windows Console’s colors are getting their first overhaul in more than 20 years! Hurray!
I know many of you have been asking for this ! O ver to you Craig … In another blockbuster post, our Summer 2017 Intern, unveils a subtle, but important improvement to the Console in Windows 10 build 16257.
