Actual fullscreen text-console on Windows 7/8

2014-03-15

You can’t put the old CMD.EXE in fullscreen anymore, but there is replacement called Console2 that has some cool features. Do not set Console2 as your standard console in Windows you use shortcuts like the Visual Studio Command Prompt, because the different behaviors will set Console2 in an infinite loop.

When installed, you can open the Settings window to tweak appearance, like hide the scrollbars and such. When done, you toggle fullscreen mode using the F11 key. This is what you get:

Update 2014-08-23: The latest version with the fullscreen option is 1.8.0. I am hosting it here.
