Sure you can make the fonts bigger when you right click your console app in the taskbar and than Properties (Tho that won't solve the color problem), but you want it entirely fullscreen then I'd use Dosbox or Virtualbox (For DoomRL, I suggest Virtualbox as it's actually a modern game; Tho if you want to use virtualbox you do need an XP installation CD or ISO)

Yeah, i did that. But there are only 3 options for fonts there: Consolas (which is pretty ugly and does not have some symbols, like red dot that it shown as undefined symbol), Lucida Console (same thing), and default Raster Fonts (Terminal), which size is limited to 10x18, and which correctly shows characters only on 8x12 (default console window size).

Virtualbox is a nice suggestion, thank you. I'll try it.

By the way, it's possible to change colour preferences for each colour in the "Colors" tab. Mostly only dark-grey is required to be made darker (to something like 96,96,96 RGB).

There's a no-effort possibility for a SDL-based console release with fullscreen support if anyone would like that.

Me too would be happy! And it would be useful to you too when you will migrate to Win 7.)

It's promised to be released in August, so not much time to wait left...

Also, for me it would be nice to have full-screen Beta version... And with fixed phase devices bug...)

Green IS used for uniques in a buncha MMOs, but that's not a reason to keep doing it of itself ;).

Anyway, whenver I play a game like this I end up saving a console config where all my dark colors are bright colors and my bright colors are pastels; e.g. dark red is 255,0,0, and bright red is 255,128,128. It's annoying to set up (in winxp) but at least you can make it save it :).

In GNOME's terminal, color modification is as easy as hitting the BFG9000 button, then the fire button, and watching everything die. Haha! :D :P
