Hello!
How do I change terminal to launch console programs? The box seems to be grayed out..
actually... I'm not sure if this is really what I want. Hm, I'll tell you:
I'm a student currently studying c/c++, I have studied a little bit of Java before where the compiling and executing all was done in my terminal (windows command prompt to be more precise). I modified my command prompt visually to get black text on a white background, and with a different font (by making a shortcut, right-clicking it -> preferences and making changes there). And well, this is what I'd like the consoles popping up, when running my c++, in Code::Block to look like. Is there anyway to do this? :O Could I perhaps redirect which terminal it should use to my command prompt shortcut? :)
I hope someone can help a newbie.. :) Thanks in advance!

Right click on the cmd.exe's title bar, then properties, then you modify the settings -> then OK + Apply for all windows (or something like that)

Wow thank you for your quick reply!!
Buut... There's no "apply for all windows" or anything of the likes in any of the property tabs nor when I accept the changes.. any ideas?
Thanks again :)
edit: The cmd.exe seems to stay the way I chose - but the tiny c++ programs i write in Code::Blocks doesn't seem to adapt the changes.
edit #2: Hm now it works! The old settings must've been cached somewhere for a while or something.. anyway - it works!
Thanks a bunch! :D
