Programmatically change windows CMD transparency property
Hello Experts,
I am looking for a way to programmatically change the transparency property of the CMD window.
Using visual c#, and windows 10
It has to be programmatically, cant use short cuts or hotkeys or mouse.
maybe with a dos command.
Regards,

Microsoft can change the transparency of the window using the slider (under W10), so there must be a way to do it even though not obvious.
Perhaps ... get a copy of Process Monitor, have it monitor the command window process, and see what API calls it is making when the transparency slider it moved.
I would not expect it to work under previous versions of Windows, though.
