@Choni01 if you mean window title (dos/batch "title" command controls window title), I don't think so because in the windows environment the window frame is controlled within the windows environment and not from the command line, so direct control may be out. You might be able to find something that can be called or triggered within your command line app that triggers a windows app to modify the title bar of the target window/box. Is that what you are thinking?

Thank you for the script. Thanks to these codes, I will be able to color specific words in my BAT files. Of course, by simplifying it as much as possible. An example, on CMD:

@for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=#" %a in ('"prompt #$H#$E# & echo on & for %b in (1) do rem"') do set ESC=%b
@set Yellow=%ESC%[93m
@Set ColorOff=%ESC%[0m
@Echo An attempt to show a word as %Yellow%yellow%ColorOff% color in a sentence...

Here let me repost... I'm on Win10 Pro

Ok there was an email here stating it no longer worked, I replied to show I was not having the issue reported, perhaps they pulled their comment/request already. I'll leave this up for historical purposes I suppose lol , a little posterirty as it were.

Basic

Clean text + %<% + FOREGROUND / BACKGROUND / STYLES + Custom text + %>% + Clean text

Combine FOREGROUND / BACKGROUND / STYLES

Example: %FF_Black% + %BB_Cyan% + %Inverse%
have to Convert into this: %FF_Black:m=;%%BB_Cyan:m=;%%Inverse%
The rule. the last VAR doesn't change, only the others before him.
By replace %VAR% with %VAR:m=;%

The setESC subroutine can be simplified to:

:setESC
for /F %%a in ('"prompt $E$S & echo on & for %%b in (1) do rem"') do set "ESC=%%a"
exit /B

+1: This is much more straightforward and understandable.
Thank you @sepehrst
