If you want a colour display, enter the command COLOR, COLOUR or COL. This setting will be remembered so you will not have to keep entering it.
To switch off the colour mode, enter the command MONOCHROME or MONO.

If you set the colour option and then run the program on a Windows computer, the display will still appear in monochrome. This is because the Windows terminal does not support colour and iKog will not bother trying to set the colour of the text.
If you find your tasks become garbled and contain little sequences like [0;37;40m, this means that your Mac or Linux terminal does not support ANSI colour. If this occurs, switch off the colour using the MONO command.
from version 1.87
If you do use colour, you can also select optional colour sets by adding the set number after the colour command. So to choose set 1 you would enter COLOUR 1 or C 1. At present there are two sets available. Set 0 is coloured text on a black background. Set 1 is the same coloured text but the background is left unchanged. This is useful if you use a terminal in a transparent mode. The screen shot below shows examples of the colour sets.
If you set the colour set to a negative number, the colour option is switched off.
