BGCOLOR
— Display or change the desktop background color.
Syntax:
BGCOLOR
/S
color
/S | save color to the registry |
color | the name or RGB value of the color to set |
You may specify the color as a single RGB value
in either hexadecimal (e.g. #8B4513
) or decimal
(9127187
); as three separate values for red, green, and blue, in
that order (0x8b 0x45 0x13
or 139 69 19
); or as a
W3C color name (SaddleBrown
).
If you specify the color in hexadecimal with a
leading #
sign, it must be either three or six hex digits long.
If it’s three digits long, each digit is doubled; #8ac
is the
same as #88aacc
. Alternatively, you can use a leading 0x
and the rules above do not apply; the number of digits is not significant.
The color change only affects the current session and will be lost at logout,
unless /S
is specified. Note that /S
must be typed
before any color name.
rem Set the background color to dark slate gray:
bgcolor darkslategray
