hello,

after using the #capture command sometimes it captures part of the prompt bar along with it, so i've gone a head and made a #win capture which is working fine atm, but i was wanting to add colours to it and havent been able too, could anyone tell me how adding color to a window would work? i've tried playing around with the #cw command, but i want to colour everything in that window only.

There's several ways. You can use %ansi() and simply include it in the #WINDOW command. You could use MXP in much the same way (I seem to recall that #WINDOW-created windows are defaulted slightly differently than the main window, so you might have to tinker around with Preferences a bit to get everything in working order.) Each window has its own settings file, so you could simply send the text as-is via #WINDOW and in that window's settings file keep all your coloring triggers for that window (this would be where the #CW triggers you were messing with would go).

The search function doesn't seem to be working and this seems like the most closely related post I'm going to find while browsing for an answer to my question.

I'm a relatively new user of zMUD and have changed the default main window fonts to Fixedsys, unfortunately #WIN created windows only seem to inherit fixedsys for Command Input Font, Edit Window Font, and Status WIndow Font. Output Window Font defaults to the Courier New font or whatever and the "Use Output font from inherited settings file" is checked. Where exactly is it getting this inherited font from? Is there an option to make _all_ windows default to fixedsys? Thanks.

I believe the Courier font is coming from the same settings file that the System class comes from. You might be ABLE to change this setting, but I wouldn't recommend this as you could potentially tear up ZMud pretty badly.
