##Features (newest first)

  • New theme for tabs with two different color styles (only selectable by changing flags in the code at the moment). One is a simple set of mostly predefined colors, while the other changes colors to match your tab views (normal text color and background color or image). The latter is currently the default style.
  • New hot-key to open up the popup menu.
  • Allows temporarily changing font size with the usual Ctrl+Mouse Wheel combo.
  • Enabled maximize and added some code to make it a little more usable than it was; still not perfect, though. If you change any settings that would change the window size, you may need to unmaximize the window to fix it (especially if you changed something that made the window larger).
  • A default configuration file is now stored directly in the EXE file. No more hunting around for the original download for a console.xml file if you just need to go back to the default configuration. When it cannot find console.xml, it will simply load its internal copy. As such, a separate console.xml file is no longer included for the downloadable packages.
  • Now limits the scroll-bar only to rows in the buffer that have already been displayed on the console so that scrolling to the bottom only goes to the last line in the buffer that was ever on the screen. There is a minor bug that sometimes allows scrolling past that line when hitting the bottom while quickly scrolling with the mouse wheel.
  • Displays intensified colors in bold font to simulate what you might see from xterm-compatible terminal emulators. Currently no check-box to disable this.
  • Automatic conversion of the light grey foreground color to a specified color without changing its use as a background color. Useful if you want to be able to set up your colors like GNOME Terminal or similar. Currently no check-box to disable this. If you see black text or some other unreadable/annoying color, put a check in Custom color under the font settings, change the color, then uncheck it. Defaults to light grey instead of black in new configuration files.
  • Window size option in the Edit menu, which allows resizing the console to a specified size that is typed in.
  • Implemented minimize to tray icon.
  • Confirm Close and One Instance Only options for tab profiles. Confirm Close makes a confirmation prompt appear when attempting to close the tab. Currently no check-box to disable the similar confirmation prompt displayed when attempting to close the whole program with multiple tabs open. One Instance Only prevents opening more than one tab of that type in the same window, which is useful if the tab is running something that should only be running in one tab at a time due to actively using the same files, port numbers, or any other shared resources.

##Bug fixes (newest first)

  • Use color 0 instead of black to determine when to show the custom background.
  • Fixed a clipping issue that sometimes left stray lines on the console in programs that manipulate the screen buffer.
  • Re-adds the tray icon if Windows Explorer restarts, so you do not lose access to your Console window if it only had the tray icon.
