  1. Need accessible color scheme for PowerShell


    I suffer from macular degeneration. Visual elements on dark background are difficult to see, especially text. This is made much worse if the font is small, or if the text color isn't bright enough, or contrast is generally lacking.The CMD.EXE shell and Powershell windows in Win11 default to color scheme with dark backgrounds. There are additional color schemes with white backgrounds, called "One half light", "Solarized light", and "Tango light".I tried all 3 of these schemes with Powershell.With Tango light, when I start typing a command, the command text is yellow, and the background is white

  3. Default color scheme

    Hello michaelholcomb1,

    I hope your day is off to a great start. I wanted to provide you with steps on how to change your default color scheme. Also, because your request is so general, if there is another color scheme you are referring to, and these steps do not help, please let
    me know.

    To change your color scheme:

    1. click on your start menu to and type settings

    2. when settings appears, press enter or click on it to open settings

    3. There should be a section called personalization, click on that to open it.

    4. With personalization open, select colors

    5. under choose a color, set the button to on.

    6. there should be another button further down the page that has show color on Start, taskbar, action center and tile bar AND Make start, taskbar, and action center transparent. Make sure that is set to off

    If you want to change your theme, you can do that at the same time as well.

    1. from the color page you are on, the left hand menu should have themes listed.

    2. click on themes to open that page

    3. under theme settings, you can to apply a theme. There you should see some windows default themes.

    4. click on the default theme you would like to apply.

    Again, if these steps do not help and clear up what you need, please let me know. Its my goal to make sure you have what you need to fix the problem you are having.

    Have a great weekend,

    Danielle
