Console Colors

Disclaimer: This library only works on Linux & MacOS currently. Alpha builds are subject to change.

Usage

Use string formatting/interpolation while calling Printer.Write() or Printer.WriteLine() to print with colors! Color properties are stored in the Clr class , formatting properties are in the Frmt class, and background color properties are in the Bkgrd class. To reset all color/formatting changes, use the Reset.Code property or call the Reset.All() class method.

Get this library off of Nuget!

Examples

Printer.SayHello();
Clr.SetCyan();
Printer.WriteLine($"This library uses {Frmt.Bold}Shell.NET!");
Reset.All();
Printer.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}{4}C#{5} in {2}{4}Linux{5} is pretty {3}{4}cool!{5}",
    Clr.Magenta,
    Clr.White,
    Clr.Green,
    Clr.Yellow,
    Frmt.Bold,
    Reset.Code
));

Note: Remember to use Reset.All() to return back to default colors.
