Important Caveats

• Console settings can be overridden by program- or shortcut-specific settings stored in the registry or in the .lnk file itself. Concfg can attempt to clean these up for you by removing registry settings that might conflict and removing console properties from .lnk files in known directories. concfg import will prompt you to clean these up after an import, or you can run concfg clean at any time.
• PowerShell's syntax highlighting isn't compatible with Base16's conventions by default. To set syntax highlighting to colors consistent with Base16's conventions, use concfg tokencolor sub-command to modify the syntax highlighting colors.

Examples

Presets

Use the Solarized dark color presets:

concfg import solarized-dark

Revert to the stock-standard console settings:

concfg import defaults

Importing settings from a URL

concfg import https://raw.github.com/lukesampson/concfg/master/presets/solarized-light.json

This URL happens to be one of the built in presets--it's just an example of importing a URL. The easy way to get Solarized light would be concfg import solarized-light

Making your own settings to save or share

concfg export <path>

Although, if you're making a color theme from scratch, you might find it easier to base it on presets/default.json

Thanks to Stephen Edgar(@ntwb) for adding support for Chris Kempson's base16 color settings.

Concfg uses Ethan Schoonover's Solarized color theme.

Code for removing console properties from shortcuts is based on code from the Coapp Toolkit project.
