Also changes Bash for Ubuntu for Windows!\n\n## Installation\n\nDownload `cobalt2.reg` to anywhere on your file system. Double click and a voila, pretty colors inside your Windows command line.\n\n## Example \n\n![Command line showing Cobalt2 color scheme](https://i.imgur.com/xOkyQ5f.jpg)\n\n## FAQ\n\n**Q: Help! I ran the registry file, but whenever I hit `Windows` and type _cmd_ I still get the default colors! is it not working?**\n\nA: Turns out the shortcut in Windows is caching the old variables. An easy fix is to delete the shortcut for _Command Prompt_ under `%APPDATA%\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\System Tools` and remake a similar one from _cmd.exe_ under `C:\\WINDOWS\\system32`.\n\nAfter that you should no longer be getting the old color scheme in command prompt.\n\n**Q: Help! I ran the registry file, but whenever I hit `Windows` and type _bash_ I still get the default colors! is it not working?**\n\nA: Same as the answer above! Some of the options are a little different though.\n\nRemove the file _Bash on Ubuntu on Windows_ from `%APPDATA%\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs` and remake a similar one from _bash.exe_ under `C:\\WINDOWS\\system32`.\n\nThen change the properties of the link to the following options:\n- **Target**: `C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\bash.exe ~`\n- **Start in**: \u003cleave this one blank\u003e\n- **Comment**: `Shortcut to bash.exe`\n\nIf you want the icon back click _Change Icon..._ and set the target to `%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\lxss\\bash.ico`.\n\nThat should do it, good as new!\n\n**Q: I want the old colors back!**\n\nA: Under the Attribution [P4](https://gist.github.com/P4) has made some other [Color schemes for Windows Command Prompt](https://gist.github.com/P4/4245793). It also has the defaults, run that and it should be fine.\n\n## Attribution\n\nOriginal theme [Cobalt2](https://github.com/wesbos/cobalt2) by [@wesbos](https://twitter.com/wesbos)  \nCode based on [Color schemes for Windows Command Prompt](https://gist.github.com/P4/4245793) by [P4](https://gist.github.com/P4)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FTichShowers%2Fcobalt2-windows-cmd","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FTichShowers%2Fcobalt2-windows-cmd","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FTichShowers%2Fcobalt2-windows-cmd/lists"}
