Console color tools here!
In addition to all of the Terminaux's features, we also provide you with a rich class for console color tools. Here are the supported properties and functions that you can use in your console applications:
Setting the console color
Setting the console color dryly
...and more
For more color functions and to get started making the color sequences, you can consult the below page:
The console tools class provides you with two properties that allow you to get the current foreground and the background color.
The console tools class provides you with two functions that set the console foreground and background colors both dryly and permanently.
The first function sets either the console's foreground color or the console's background color permanently. The changes will be done and you can verify this using either CurrentForegroundColor or CurrentBackgroundColor.
The second function, however, only runs dryly and doesn't set any of the abovementioned properties. This allows you to temporarily set the background or the foreground color.
If you want to dryly set the console color, you must either use the plain writers, or use the Color instances to apply them to all the Color-related parameters.
Additionally, if you wish to dryly set the colors on plain writers, you can use the RenderSetConsoleColor() function, but you'll have to append one of the following:
RenderResetColors()
RenderResetForeground()
RenderResetBackground()
If you want to go back to the current color set by Terminaux, use one of the following:
RenderRevertColors()
RenderRevertForeground()
RenderRevertBackground()
if you don't want the color to leak. As for the background colors, consider these:
Currently, AllowBackground is set to false, which means that background colors are disabled, unless forced. To enable background colors globally, you must enable it.
The console color tools class also provides you with background loading functions that allow you to quickly clear the console with the selected background color.
The non-dry LoadBack() functions allow you to load the background color and permanently set the console background color to either the already-set current background color or to your specified background color. However, the dry version allows you to load the background color temporarily.
If you want to dryly set the background color, you must either use the plain writers, or use the background Color instances to apply them to all the background color-related parameters.
If you have a Windows system, you can call a function that allows you to initialize the VT sequences. This function in the ConsoleExtensions class is called InitializeSequences().
If you have already set the VT sequence processing using a registry key found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\VirtualTerminalLevel, this function does nothing.
You can also reset the colors either fully or selectively (foreground or background) by calling one of the following functions:
ResetColors(): Resets both the foreground and the background colors.
ResetForeground(): Resets the foreground color.
ResetBackground(): Resets the background color.
Reverting the colors to their currently set colors monitored by Terminaux can be done easily by calling one of the following functions:
RevertColors(): Reverts both the foreground and the background colors.
RevertForeground(): Reverts the foreground color.
RevertBackground(): Reverts the background color.
