Here's a doskey macro to set a console to solarized dark (the Colortool directory is in c:\utility) (all on one line):
doskey solardark=C:\utility\ColorTool\ColorTool.exe C:\utility\ColorTool\schemes\solarized_dark.itermcolors ^& cls If you haven't used the doskey command before, I keep the aliases (called "macros") in a batch file called *aliases.cmd*. I usually start a console with the command cmd /k aliases. This loads all the aliases. One of mine is named *ea *(*E*dit *A*liases) and it loads the aliases into my text editor so I can easily add a new one. With this scheme, you can open a console, type solardark, and you are ready to go. Or you can just use a pair of batch files.
