    256 color on Windows 11

    Is there any other way of doing it? I remember back then in the Windows 2000 days you could just right click on the desktop, left click on properties, and just change the color to 256 color. Also, thank you for the suggestion.

    256 color on Windows 11

    I have been trying to get 256 color on my Windows 11 personal computer so I can see what it looks like but I do not know where to look to change that. I have a NVIDIA graphics card in case that has something to do with it. If anyone can figure out where to find this setting I will be more than happy to hear about it. Thank you!

    How do I change to 256 colors on windows 11?

    ConEmu + ls -- 256 colors not working

    I'm using ConEmu (specifically Cmder's version). Running 'cmd', it supports 256 colors (top).

    However, I can't get other programs to run in 256 color mode. I've tried Perl (middle) and ls (bottom), but both run in 8/16 color mode.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this. Mostly I'd like ls to work in 256 color mode.
