Synopsis
SetConsoleBackground(ch)
Library
console

Platforms
Linux, macOS, Windows

Function
This function fills the background of the current console window with the character specified by ch. The character must be passed as a numeric value, not a string. For normal characters ch simply specifies the Unicode codepoint of the respective character, e.g. 65 for 'A'. The ch argument, however, can also be a special character code composed by the MakeConsoleChr() function. This function allows you to merge text formatting styles into the character code and it also supports special character codes like arrows or border bits. See MakeConsoleChr for details.

You must enable advanced console mode using EnableAdvancedConsole() before you can use this function. See EnableAdvancedConsole for details.

Inputs
ch
character to use for filling
Example
EnableAdvancedConsole()
SetConsoleBackground('=')

The code above fills the console background with '=' characters.
