Hi, i am still a n00b to programming and i kinda have a question that deals with system in c++

I have just learned about

Code: Select all

system("TITLE *name*")
and

Code: Select all

system("COLOR 40")
and i am wondering is there a way for me to use this and change the font size? or even the font theme??

I believe the font and font size are controlled by your command prompt's own settings, so you would alter that by changing those settings on your own machine

I'm not aware of any commands that allow you to change that automatically within code.

but if i'm wrong, i'm open to correction ;)

yeah, if you right-click on the titlebar and go to properties you can change the font.
i dont think there is any commando for that.
