Is there anyway to start cmd (from the run-dialog (windows+r)) with black background color and black font? I know that I can just change the colors when I'm inside of the cmd and then (e.g if I changed color 1 and 2 to black) just write "color 12", but that's not what I want, I want to start it somehow with black/black without any configuration in cmd.. Is this possible?

`cmd /?`. See `/T` option. But same restrictions as `color` command: foreground and background can't have the same color. – Stephan Feb 19 '16 at 08:14

Yeah, I knew that /T thing, but as you said, it's not working... But propably there is in fact a way, as if you can manually change both to the same it should somehow be possible to start with the same as well... – user5638730 Feb 19 '16 at 08:18

at least not with `cmd` standard command set. Maybe powershell is able to to that. Also messing with the registry might be a possibilty. Might your qeustion be a [xy-problem](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem)? – Stephan Feb 19 '16 at 09:21

Nope, starting a cmd with color black/black is all I want.. – user5638730 Feb 19 '16 at 10:36

As you stated, doing this in batch might niot be possible, but you might be able to call a c/c++ programm which sets the console color for you (the last time i checked cmd.exe was really bad in reverting any changes to its system settings when exiting a process).
So, look at How to change text color and console color in code::blocks? , copy it into a .cpp file, compile it (this is where i usually add a rant about how windows comes without installed compilers) and call it right after launching your cmd!
