![Transparent Command Prompt](https://asapguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Transparent-Command-Prompt-700x440.jpg "Transparent Command Prompt - How to Make Command Prompt Window Transparent 2") For decades, the Command Prompt window looks and feels the same, while other programs have adopted [Fluent Design](https://asapguide.com/disable-fluent-design-on-windows-10/) which mainly has a transparent interface. Fortunately, we can make the Command Prompt window transparent as well. Making the CMD window transparent would be great if you had a cool wallpaper. Changing the appearance won’t affect its main function as a command-line interpreter, so you are good to go. 1. Click the Start menu and type **Command Prompt** or **CMD** , select it from the result. 2. Right-click on the Command Prompt’s bar and select **Properties**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/0/a/0a220200d85f5e177d7ca7c84120109670a82397.png) 1. Navigate to the **Colors** tab menu. Lower the **Opacity** and click **OK**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/4/6/467b1cabc5b93fa9e20e0adb0d48c07d771690cf.jpeg) The system allows you to select the transparency level from 30% to 100%. You can also customize the font color, font type, and size. In addition, changing CMD’s transparency level can be done with shortcut **CTRL+SHIFT+Mouse Wheel** (UP/DOWN) as well. This hidden trick also can be applied to Windows PowerShell. `Source: asapguide`
