State: closed
Merged: Yes


Because most of the console API's don't work in WSL via interop, ColorTool wouldn't work inside of the WSL environment.

As of recent Windows 10 Insider's builds, we added support for a VT sequence you can use to set the color table. With that support added, ColorTool can instead emit the appropriate VT sequences, and change the color table that way in Windows builds after 17048.
