This crate has reached its end-of-life and is now deprecated.

This crate was rolled into the winapi-util crate since wincolor is quite small and didn’t otherwise have a good reason for living life as a distinct crate.

The console module of winapi-util is a drop-in replacement for wincolor.

wincolor

A simple Windows specific API for controlling text color in a Windows console. The purpose of this crate is to expose the full inflexibility of the Windows console without any platform independent abstraction.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
wincolor = "0.1"

and this to your crate root:

extern crate wincolor;

Example

This is a simple example that shows how to write text with a foreground color of cyan and the intense attribute set:

use wincolor::{Console, Color, Intense};

let mut con = Console::stdout().unwrap();
con.fg(Intense::Yes, Color::Cyan).unwrap();
println!("This text will be intense cyan.");
con.reset().unwrap();
println!("This text will be normal.");
