  2. created folder E:\Notepad++\plugins\NppConsole
  3. downloaded https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppConsole/releases/download/1.2.8.1/NppConsole-v1.2.8.1-x64.zip
  4. put NppConsole.dll in E:\Notepad++\plugins\NppConsole
  5. launched notepad++
  6. click icon NppConsole Show (or plugins > NppConsole
  7. I see empty area in bottom of Notepadd+ and no shell working there, no cursor etc.. notepad++ console not working

I cannot reproduce. It works fine for me on Windows 10 64-bit.

Hi I can reproduce the main issue. There's an issue with the color of the font used by default in the app. The plugin cannot show visible characters with the dark theme enabled. You can see the console using default color theme ( white).

Hi can you be more specific with list of clicks i need to start seeing console please ? FYI: Whatever theme I choose in notepad++ > Settings > Style Configurator, i still dont see anything in the bottom of notepad++ NppConsole area. Thanks.

When you mentioned dark mode, it sparkled my something, as I see both my Notepad++ and windows 10 file explorer seems to be in "dark" mode, i wonder if its this the dark you mentioned ? or if its notepad+ dark theme ?

notepad++->setup (configuration )->preferences->Dark Mode->Select Mode "clear" (Spanish mode "claro").

Simple explanation: I believe that you are in Dark Mode ( or your O.S. has selected the dark mode), notepad++ change its default appearance following the main O.S mode. Forcing the notepad++ to another mode with white windows fix the issue. I open an issue demanding dark mode support.

Thank you so much!! ITs good now, my Notepad++ indeed had dark mode enabled: Notepad++ > Settings > Dark Mode > [x] Dark mode ..so I changed to Notepad++ > Settings > Dark Mode > [x] Light mode

and now I can see NppConsole :) image

Good we have workaround, but will not close issue since its something that can be improved, and now that we know the problem, hopefully will be fixed soon.

Thanks @Falcata you rock
