While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

its console specific

which console gives you color characters instead of using them?

[shell shore]

which console is not working properly?

and what do you want to accomplish?

you try to fix it via code?

you cant

its a console thing

the user would need to change its console/settings

I wouldnt mind

[stuck brook]

its called ANSI escape sequences

and not all consoles support it

theres nothing u can do about it

tell ur users to use an ANSI compatible console

thats all u can do

[shell shore]

I would just ignore it

either dont use colors

or just tell the user to use an ANSI compatible console

[stuck brook]

no

u can try if (System.console() != null && System.getenv().get("TERM") != null) {

but it doesnt always work

essentially, it checks whether ur running on a linux terminal instead

and they usually support it

(not always, but often)

there are ofc also windows consoles that support it, but u cant detect it with that

[shell shore]

or make some kind of config to disable it
