Do you mean the console, i.e. the window used by the command prompt (cmd.exe)? For a novice, you'll probably be better off using Python IDLE. It should be in the start menu under "Python 3.5". Or just type "idle" to search for it. If you want to continue using the console, you can modify the default text and background colors for the current application. Click on the system menu in the upper left-hand corner of the window and choose "Properties". On the "Colors" tab change the color of the screen text and background. On the "Font" tab I recommend selecting a TrueType font such as Consolas. To change the default settings, select "Defaults" instead of "Properties". You can also modify per-shortcut settings by right-clicking a shortcut and selecting "Properties". The console applies saved settings starting with the defaults, then the application settings, and then the shortcut settings. cmd also has a built-in "color" command to modify the text and background colors in a command prompt. Enter "color /?" to get a list of the 16 supported colors, which are numbered 0-F. For example, "color 0F" uses bright white (F) text on a black (0) background. > Also I have not ben ale to save it on C/programmes/files You shouldn't be saving files to system directories.
