Cmdlet

Get-ConsoleSetting

Module: ConsoleMonster
Outputs: ConsoleMonster.ConsoleSetting

Shows ConsoleMonster's settings: the value of each and where it came from.

Syntax

Get-ConsoleSetting
[[-Name] <String[]>]
[<CommonParameters>]

Parameter set: All Parameter Sets

Description

Lists the theme, colour, glyphs, frames (Border), spacing (Density), status markers, motion, mouse, accessibility, hyperlinks, language and culture settings with their configured value or built-in fallback and source: Session (Set-ConsoleSetting in this session), Environment (a CONSOLEMONSTER_* variable or NO_COLOR), File (the settings file) or Default. This describes preference overrides, not the final themed appearance: without a Density override, Comfortable with source Default can still render with Compact spacing from the theme. Session values beat environment variables, which beat the file, so CI and one-off runs keep working without touching it. The file is settings.json in %APPDATA%\ConsoleMonster on Windows and ~/.config/ConsoleMonster elsewhere; CONSOLEMONSTER_SETTINGS names another file, or none to ignore it. Invalid Density environment values and unusable file entries are ignored and reported as warnings.
