How can I change the width of a Windows console window?
Is it possible to programmatically, or otherwise, increase the width of the Windows console window? Or do I need to create a wrapper program that looks and acts like the console somehow? Are there any programs around that do this already? I use Cygwin extensively in my development, and it seems a little ridiculous to me that all console windows in Windows are width limited.
If it matters at all, I'm running Windows XP.
Solution
You can increase it manually by right-clicking the tray icon and entering the options dialog.
