Ok how do I change the texts color without changing all the couts to printfs and without using system("color hex")

By 'without using system("color hex")' do you still mean "works on all systems magically"?

No, I mean can I write a chunk of code for this in a function for something, so yes. Is this why people love java?

can I write a chunk of code for this in a function for something, so yes.

You can write a function for it, yes. What you can't do is write a function that magically works on every possible platform. Console text color is inherently non-portable.

Wide portability without losing functionality is one of Java's selling points.

Ok than like in my other thread; how do you change color on the other two giants OSX and Linux?
