I installed the console in a windows box, but couldn’t see its menu, neither it’s toolbar! Tried to find any related issues by googling online but now help.

At last I thought, let me have a look into the console.xml which contains the runtime configurations. And I found this:


<controls show_menu=“0” show_toolbar=“0” show_statusbar=“0” show_tabs=“1” hide_single_tab=“0” show_scrollbars=“0”/>

Bingo! Just what I was looking for. The Console started functioning normal again after I have changed the above to the following:


<controls show_menu=“1” show_toolbar=“1” show_statusbar=“1” show_tabs=“1” hide_single_tab=“1” show_scrollbars=“1”/>

Voila!
Hope this helps those who may need it in a hurry

I forgot to mention the easy way first , sorry — you can also go to the settings by pressing Ctrl+S after running the Console2 window.

On the search I found these invaluable articles in different sites. Have a look you might find something more interesting there

• Console2 — A command window replacement
• A Mac-type RAILS dev env in windows
• E-TextEditor for windows mode setting : add .rb files to RAILS syntax
• Although inexpensive, E-TextEditor is a paid tool with a 30-day trial period. You may instead try the free editor PSPad.
