Make Batch have random colors every time you open?

[BlackBullet]

Hello, I'm currently making a batch file and I was wondering if instead of having the same colors, if it could be different every time you open it.

Example: Red background, blue font
next time you open it White background, Aqua font
etc.

Thanks

i'm not gonna do that, cause you'll have to set them all in the batch and them make it go choose something else everytime. There isn't a simple command for random color.

Dman, It would be nice if there was.
Thanks anyway

oh wait, there's a post now in the forum with random number to 2, but that won't work with colors, cause some are a letter :(
so you'll have to put them all in one by one.

Put this in the start of your batch script to make it generate a random color

Code:

@echo off
set random1=%random%
set random2=%random%
if %random1%==GEQ 0 set color1=0
if %random1%==GEQ 2047 set color1=1
if %random1%==GEQ 4094 set color1=2
if %random1%==GEQ 6141 set color1=3
if %random1%==GEQ 8188 set color1=4
if %random1%==GEQ 10235 set color1=5
if %random1%==GEQ 12282 set color1=6
if %random1%==GEQ 14329 set color1=7
if %random1%==GEQ 16376 set color1=8
if %random1%==GEQ 18423 set color1=A
if %random1%==GEQ 20470 set color1=B
if %random1%==GEQ 22517 set color1=C
if %random1%==GEQ 24564 set color1=D
if %random1%==GEQ 26611 set color1=E
if %random1%==GEQ 28658 set color1=F
if %random1%==GEQ 0 set color2=0
if %random1%==GEQ 2047 set color2=1
if %random1%==GEQ 4094 set color2=2
if %random1%==GEQ 6141 set color2=3
if %random1%==GEQ 8188 set color2=4
if %random1%==GEQ 10235 set color2=5
if %random1%==GEQ 12282 set color2=6
if %random1%==GEQ 14329 set color2=7
if %random1%==GEQ 16376 set color2=8
if %random1%==GEQ 18423 set color2=A
if %random1%==GEQ 20470 set color2=B
if %random1%==GEQ 22517 set color2=C
if %random1%==GEQ 24564 set color2=D
if %random1%==GEQ 26611 set color2=E
if %random1%==GEQ 28658 set color2=F
color %color1%%color2%

Oh you're right :O

This one should work

Code:

@echo off
set rnd1=%random%
set rnd1=%random%
set rnd2=%random%
if %rnd1% GEQ 0 set color1=0
if %rnd1% GEQ 2047 set color1=1
if %rnd1% GEQ 4094 set color1=2
if %rnd1% GEQ 6141 set color1=3
if %rnd1% GEQ 8188 set color1=4
if %rnd1% GEQ 10235 set color1=5
if %rnd1% GEQ 12282 set color1=6
if %rnd1% GEQ 14329 set color1=7
if %rnd1% GEQ 16376 set color1=8
if %rnd1% GEQ 18423 set color1=A
if %rnd1% GEQ 20470 set color1=B
if %rnd1% GEQ 22517 set color1=C
if %rnd1% GEQ 24564 set color1=D
if %rnd1% GEQ 26611 set color1=E
if %rnd1% GEQ 28658 set color1=F
if %rnd2% GEQ 0 set color2=0
if %rnd2% GEQ 2047 set color2=1
if %rnd2% GEQ 4094 set color2=2
if %rnd2% GEQ 6141 set color2=3
if %rnd2% GEQ 8188 set color2=4
if %rnd2% GEQ 10235 set color2=5
if %rnd2% GEQ 12282 set color2=6
if %rnd2% GEQ 14329 set color2=7
if %rnd2% GEQ 16376 set color2=8
if %rnd2% GEQ 18423 set color2=A
if %rnd2% GEQ 20470 set color2=B
if %rnd2% GEQ 22517 set color2=C
if %rnd2% GEQ 24564 set color2=D
if %rnd2% GEQ 26611 set color2=E
if %rnd2% GEQ 28658 set color2=F
color %color1%%color2%
