Introduction to ConsoleZ

ConsoleZ is a Windows console window enhancement. It is a fork of Console project.

Console features include:

• multiple tabs
• text editor-like text selection
• different background types (solid color, image, fake transparency)
• configurable font
• different window styles

ConsoleZ features include:

• Splitting Tabs into views (horizontally and vertically)
• Grouping views (so input sent to one goes to all of them)
• Windows Vista aero glass theme
• Windows 7 jump list
• Windows 7 wallpaper positions and slideshow
• Windows 8 wallpapers on dual screen
• Zooming with Ctrl-Mouse
• Quake style console animation
• Strict monospace font rendering
• Settable opacity of text background color
• Full screen
• High DPI (per monitor)
• Localization
• Snippets
• and more...

NOTE: ConsoleZ is NOT a shell. Therefore, it does not implement shell features like command-line completion, syntax coloring, command history, etc.

ConsoleZ is simply a nice-looking front end for a shell of your choice (cmd.exe, 4NT, bash, etc.) Other command-line utilities can also be used as 'shells' by ConsoleZ.

ConsoleZ is hosted on github.
