how to change background color screen to display masm32 !! :icon_exclaim:

[hutch--]

I am not sure what you mean but if its the editor colour, go to the settings on the edit menu and change the colours to what you find OK.

[imadhx30]

not color masm32 editor
but color window to display results (of after run program) :icon_exclaim:

but color window to display results (of after run program) :icon_exclaim:

GUI or console window? More details please!! :icon_exclaim:

If I understand you correctly, you execute a program created by masm32. If this is a Console App, then right click in the Title bar, and select Properties, then select Colors. Someone else (Hutch?) will have to explain what to do if this is a windows App.

it can be done programatically in the console by using FillConsoleOutputAttribute

this is a console clear screen routine - it uses the current colors
but, i commented the line where DX holds a word with attributes
you can set that to whatever foreground/background combination you like

ok - slight problem
the above code sets the attributes in the buffer
however, any new text displayed uses the current console attributes

by calling both FillConsoleOutputAttribute and SetConsoleTextAttribute, you set both
see the attached...
