Change background color of python shell

Question

Is it possible to change background color of the Python Shell from white to black for example. I did find how to change text color, but can't figure out how to change background color. I'm running it under the Windows. Any suggestions?

and if you are talking about the windows Prompt , you can use the color command or just right click & select properties & edit the color settings

Answer 2

Right-click the upper-left corner of the Python console window and select Properties. In the dialog box that appears, pick the tab labeled Colors. On it you can set the screen background and text color.
