tf.exe error message coloring

When tf.exe (beta 3 refresh version) displays an error message the text is colored in yellow on black. My command prompt windows usually have black text on white background. Is it possible to let tf. exe display all output without changing the color, e.g. via an environment variable

Great. Thanks.

You can change or turn off the coloring by changing the settings in tf.exe.config (in the same location as tf.exe).

Here is the list of display settings.

Display.FallbackWidth
Display.DisableColors
Display.ErrorBackground
Display.ErrorForeground
Display.InfoBackground
Display.InfoForeground

You can turn off coloring altogether by adding the following to your tf.exe.config file.

   <appSettings>
      <add key="Display.DisableColors" value="true" />
   </appSettings>

If you simply want to alter the coloring to make it look better, you could use something like the following.

   <appSettings>
      <add key="Display.ErrorForeground" value="blue" />
      <add key="Display.ErrorBackground" value="white" />
   </appSettings>
