Allow macro language to set window foreground and background color
doda You can use dispstr command with OSC control string.
e.g.
bg_red = #$1B"]11;#ff0000"#$1B"\" fg_green = #$1B"]10;#00ff00"#$1B"\" reset_color = #$1B"]110;111"#$1B"\" dispstr bg_red fg_green pause 5 dispstr reset_color pause 5 ; Use sprintf2 command to generate a change color control string. osc_base = #$1B"]%d;#%02x%02x%02x"#$1B"\" sprintf2 fg_black osc_base 10 $00 $00 $00 sprintf2 fg_red osc_base 10 $ff $00 $00 sprintf2 fg_green osc_base 10 $00 $ff $00 sprintf2 fg_yellow osc_base 10 $ff $ff $00 sprintf2 fg_blue osc_base 10 $00 $00 $ff sprintf2 fg_magenta osc_base 10 $ff $00 $ff sprintf2 fg_cyan osc_base 10 $00 $ff $ff sprintf2 fg_white osc_base 10 $ff $ff $ff sprintf2 bg_black osc_base 11 $00 $00 $00 sprintf2 bg_red osc_base 11 $ff $00 $00 sprintf2 bg_green osc_base 11 $00 $ff $00 sprintf2 bg_yellow osc_base 11 $ff $ff $00 sprintf2 bg_blue osc_base 11 $00 $00 $ff sprintf2 bg_magenta osc_base 11 $ff $00 $ff sprintf2 bg_cyan osc_base 11 $00 $ff $ff sprintf2 bg_white osc_base 11 $ff $ff $ff dispstr fg_white bg_black pause 1 dispstr bg_red pause 1 dispstr bg_green pause 1 dispstr bg_yellow pause 1 dispstr bg_blue pause 1 dispstr bg_magenta pause 1 dispstr bg_cyan pause 1 dispstr bg_white pause 1 dispstr reset_color
Tera Term
To benefit test systems that use macros to operate (for example to run certain commands on electronics being manufactured), it could be helpful to be able to change the overall screen foreground/background color of the TeraTerm window using macro commands. For instance, during a test, the screen could have a blue background. But when a test is done, it could change to green or red for pass or fail. This would help get an operator's attention to come over to the tester and do something.
I have not explored if I can get special terminal control codes to achieve this result, but it would be nice if special characters were not required to be transferred in case that interfered with colors sent by the remote system.
