Possible to redefine ANSI color values in Windows?

[Zuckus]

I'm running the console version of DS in Windows, and I'd like redefine the color values -- is this possible?

e.g. I'd like to redefine BLUE to be (63, 63, 255) instead of (0, 0, 255) (or however it's currently defined).

I looked in colour.[ch] and didn't see where the values are set; are these system defined values that need to be changed elsewhere?

Yes, it is possible.

Run this .reg file (or modify it as you want):

it should also be possible to edit the colours by right-clicking on the crawl icon (or the window, while it's running) and adjusting the properties.

[Zuckus]

Thanks! I like setting the individual properties for Crawl, but this is great information!

Oh, yes. But I don't like that I need to do this for every new version of Crawl (if installed to the new folder), and also I prefer classic ANSI colors in all console applications, so I decided to change things globally.
