I've just got hold of an open source app called Console. It replicates the windows command prompt but has lots of style options. However, it doesn't allow copy and paste unless you are using a monospaced font.

So, does anyone know of a good, small, free monospaced font or where I can get a free one?

Cheers.

For anyone interested here is a screeny of Console. It has some nice features like transparent, positionable, dockable, windows. Custom cursors, colors, menus etc.



A nice touch is the system tray icon 'C:>'.

Thanks Halzions

I went font the Crystal fixed pitch font. Looks similar to Arial or Verdana which are my fav variable fonts. Looks alright in Console.

Thanks again.

looks nice

Yea I thought so. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'm happy with the cmd functionality but just wanted it to look a bit more up-to-date. All it does is create a real console window and hide it.

There is a newer version out which I tried but it's still a bit buggy at the moment.

Once I get my visual style to match it'll look sweet.
