Today, I stumbled upon an application named Console. Console is a replacement for the default Windows command prompt tool. According to the website:

Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles

If you spend a lot of time at the command prompt then this application is a must have for your arsenal. Did I mention that Console is open source? Well it is! The project is written in C++ and with a little bit of know how you can modify it to do whatever your need. So what are you waiting for? Download it now.
