The program has a large range of customization, including custom color palettes for the standard 16 colors, hotkeys, transparency, an auto-hideable mode (similar to the wayQuakeoriginally displayed its developer console).
Initially, the program was created as a companion toFar Manager,[4]bringing some features common for graphical file managers to this console application (thumbnailsand tiles,drag and dropwith other windows,[5]true colorinterface,and others). As of 2012, ConEmu could be used with any otherWin32 consoleapplication or simple GUI tool (such asNotepad,PuTTYorDOSBox).[4][5][6][7]ConEmu doesn't provide any shell itself, but rather allows using any other shell.[4]It does provide a limited macro language,[8]to control the hosted applications startup.
