Hi guys,

I'm currently writing simple IDE for my operating system and I found that there is function, what will be very nice to add - option to color terminal and monitor. This can be available only from code, so you will type something like this: print(red.."some nice text"..blue.."huh?"). Output will be colored, doesnt matter if on monitor or terminal.

THis is already being implemented, and I can't wait for the next update.

Colors are excellent, if we also get key modifiers (ctrl and shift) as parameters to key and char events and the full classic ascii charset (this guy), we'll really be able to do some polished text guis.

Also will be nice if terminal will be 80x25 or higher, letters are too damn big, they can be smaller :P/>/>.
