Thank you

A second way would be

Code:

---

DrawColorString("",0,5,FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_GREEN);

---

using this function:

Code:

---

void DrawColorString(string szText, int X, int Y, WORD color)
{       
  HANDLE OutputH;                                                                               
        COORD position = {X, Y};                                                       
        OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);                       
        SetConsoleTextAttribute(OutputH, color);                       
        SetConsoleCursorPosition(OutputH, position);               
        cout << szText;

Its in the FAQ. Just change (I'm assuming your using windows) this:

Code:

---

SetConsoleTextAttribute ( h, FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY );

---

To this:

Code:

---

SetConsoleTextAttribute ( h, BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_INTENSITY );
