In addition to the other answers you have received, you can use the command XMODE to change preset 
Window parameters.
xmode /term
Will display the current settings for Term. You can add to the command parameters ex.
xmode /term fgc=00 bgc=02 dbc=02
to change the foreground, background, and border colors. You will not see an immediate change but 
then enter
cobbler /d0
or whatever drive you booted from. The next time you boot, you will have the new colors. Those above 
give white letters on a black background.
