ConsoleBase - NKS0005
Use SetConsoleColor(Color, true) from KernelColorTools
This analyzer provides the following strings:
Error List
Caller uses Console.BackgroundColor instead of SetConsoleColor(Color, true)
Suggestion Box
Use SetConsoleColor(Color, true) instead of Console.BackgroundColor
Description
SetConsoleColor(Color, true) not only brings better color support provided by the appropriate VT sequences, but it can also use true color. Console.BackgroundColor only handles 16 colors.
Extended Description
This code analyzer detects the usage of BackgroundColor from the standard Console class found in the System namespace. This property only supports up to 16 colors, and, in order to upgrade to 255 colors or true color, you need to have a console that supports it and a VT escape sequence to be able to set the background color of the console in any color you want.
As a result, SetConsoleColor simplifies things up by using the Color class provided by Terminaux to be able to set the color without being restricted to the domain of the 16 colors.
