For a hacker-themed Command Prompt (CMD) environment, it's essential to create a

setup that looks both sleek and functional. Here are some recommendations for the best
background, font, and screen setup:

1. Background:
Black: This is the most common and classic choice, giving a retro hacker feel and high
contrast with text.
Dark Green or Dark Blue: These colors add a unique touch, reminiscent of old-school CRT
monitors or a Matrix-like aesthetic.

2. Font:
Cascadia Code: A modern font with a clear, monospaced design that's comfortable to read,
especially in coding.
Consolas: A classic and highly readable monospaced font commonly used by developers and
hackers.
Lucida Console: Slightly different in appearance but still clear and familiar, with a more
traditional feel.
Fira Code: A popular font among developers, with ligatures for common coding symbols
and a clean look.
Courier New: The iconic typewriter font, simple and easy to read.

3. Text Color:
Green: This is the classic "hacker" look and gives a retro, Matrix-style aesthetic.
Light Cyan or Light Yellow: These colors provide good contrast without being too harsh on
the eyes.
White on Black: This combination is simple, clean, and effective for long hours of coding or
command-line work.

4. Screen/Terminal Settings:
Opacity: Set the terminal background to a slight transparency for a cool, futuristic look
without losing too much visibility.
Font Size: Choose a size that’s readable but not too large, allowing you to fit more lines of
code or text on the screen.
Blinking Cursor: Enable a blinking cursor for an interactive feel, though it's optional
depending on your preference.
How to Set It Up:
Change Background Color: Right-click on your CMD window → "Properties" → under the
"Colors" tab, you can choose black, dark green, or any other preferred background.
Change Font: In the same "Properties" menu, go to the "Font" tab to select your preferred
font, such as Cascadia Code or Consolas.
Customize Text Colors: Still in the "Colors" tab, you can choose your preferred text color
(like light green or cyan).
Set Opacity: If you're using Windows Terminal (instead of CMD), you can enable
background opacity for a semi-transparent look under the settings.

Windows Terminal Alternative:


Consider switching from CMD to Windows Terminal, which provides more customization
options, including themes, tabs, better font support, and much more advanced configuration.

This setup will give you the classic hacker vibe and functionality in your command-line
environment!
