Nice design

[MaxLascombe]

Hey guys,
I'm new to cpp and it all coming up in the cmd is kind of ugly. Do you know how to make it look nicer?

You mean you want your program to use some sort of GUI?

[MaxLascombe]

What's a GUI?

GUI = Graphical User Interface

akshit and peter87: thanks for telling me what a gui is.
owain: would you know how i could make my program use a gui?

[MaxLascombe]

There's a program I downloaded where the text in the cmd was not just plain white but different color too. Does any one know how to do that, and is there othr things you can change, like font or size of text?

Tou can use system("color xx") if you are using Windows and you are just doing it for your own pleaseure, but if you release a program, NEVER use system() for anything...

As for a program to make a GUI, when programming, you genrealy use a GUI API if you want a graphical interface. Examples of these include wxWidgits or the Win32 API. If your program is to be cross-platform that use wxWidgits, as Win32 is Windows dependant. Some IDE's include built-in GUI designers. Being developed by Microsoft, Visual Studio includes a Win32 GUI designer. Code::Blocks also has a built-in form designer, but it uses wxWidgits insted, which I recommend if your not specificly targeting the Windows platform.
