$ dotnet add package BlackBytesBox.Retro.CoreReadme
BlackBytesBox.Retro.Core
A streamlined .NET helper for precise control over the Windows console.
⭐ Features
- Attach or create a console from any GUI process with one call.
- Disable the ❌ Close button and Quick-Edit to avoid accidental termination or freezes.
- UTF-8 everywhere – print emoji 🎉 and non-Latin scripts seamlessly.
- Programmatic font switch (Lucida Console, Consolas, Cascadia Mono, etc.).
- Move & resize using client-area coordinates for pixel-perfect placement.
📦 Installation
# .NET CLI
dotnet add package BlackBytesBox.Retro.Core
Targets .NET 6+ and .NET Framework 4.7.2+.
🚀 Quick Start
using BlackBytesBox.Retro.Core;
// 1. Prepare the console
var c = NativeMethods.ConsoleManager;
c.EnsureConsole();
c.DisableCloseButton();
c.DisableQuickEdit();
c.SetFont(NativeMethods.ConsoleManager.ConsoleFont.LucidaConsole);
c.EnableUtf8();
// 2. Align client-area to (0,0)
var deco = NativeMethods.WindowManager.GetWindowDecorations();
c.MoveAndResize(x: 0 - deco.BorderWidth, y: 0);
Run once – you’ll have a UTF-8 console anchored to the primary screen’s top-left.
