更改C ++中的控制台颜色

Question

I have code blocks 12.11. During a program I have changed colour of the console with this code:

    setColor(8 , 15) ;

after this code the colour of the console has changed to grey, Even in other programs. Then I uninstalled code blocks and installed it again but again I have this problem. I think I have changed code blocks default .can anyone please help me. Thanks in advance.

I guess that setColor() arguments are numbers that represent color constants:

+--------------+-----+
| BLACK        | 0   |   
| BLUE         | 1   |   
| GREEN        | 2   |   
| CYAN         | 3   |   
| RED          | 4   |   
| MAGENTA      | 5   |   
| BROWN        | 6   |   
| LIGHTGREY    | 7   |   
| DARKGREY     | 8   |   
| LIGHTBLUE    | 9   |   
| LIGHTGREEN   | 10  |
| LIGHTCYAN    | 11  |
| LIGHTRED     | 12  |
| LIGHTMAGENTA | 13  |
| YELLOW       | 14  |
| WHITE        | 15  |
| BLINK        | 128 |
+--------------+-----+

You see that 8 is DARKGRAY and 15 is WHITE . So, if you want to set background color as black and the text color to white you will run:

setColor(0, 15);

If you are on Windows:

1. Open a command-prompt
2. Right-click the titlebar or press Alt + Space
3. Select Defaults from the context-menu
4. Set the properties you would like (colors on the Colors tab)
5. Click OK

The method that Tapped-Out gave works because Windows 7 happens to have a bug where the Properties option modifies the default values instead of just for the current console, and it could be fixed at any time. source
