Decorate output in C

When we execute a C program, the output is printed on the black screen by default. I want this output to be decorated. I want it on a well designed background. How to do it?

    I dont think so that we can change the default output screen of our compiler. May be we can just change the colour but cant replace by wallpaper or any other graphics.

    I came to know that the most popular Mario game was designed using C++. Then how was it done?

    Yes we can make graphics with c++ by using standard header file .. But it is very slow when we load graphics while using common c++ programs, cause it takes more time to load graphics compare to simple I/O. And there is one more problem with that if we dont use properly than the our text output will be overwritten by the graphic you just loaded. So buddy just leave the thought of decorating output if you want to make your program effective & fast.

    Consider that my code is "If user enters 1. The output is ONE"
    I want the user to enter the input and get the output on a screen which looks like a notebook or slate.

    I cant leave this idea.
    P.S:This is just an example. I know it sounds childish

    Hey buddy, you just said to make a output window like notepad in c++. Its a tough task. Cause I have already learnt " Computer Graphics " subject. And whenever we loads the graphics it overwrites the text already printed. And if we write text after loading the graphics, the text will be written in next frame, that means that your text will appear at below the screen. There is some other method in C++ to load text with graphics, but I dont know too much about it. I am also learning on GUI in C/C++, lets hope we both found some solution here.

    Hey yamrajbhalla, its not just about converting number in words. Its about showing the output in new graphics background instead of original default black screen.

    not just in c++, you can give a background in c as well..
    using textbackground function in conio.h
    jst run a loop, give a background to every character till the end of the screen
    then go back to the first position using gotoxy();

    to change background follow these steps:-
    goto file->dosshell->type color fc_>press enter->type exit;
    fc change your font color into red and background into white.

    instead of doing the things manually like soniyo said, you can let your program change the color.. using system("color hex"); where hex means a hexadecimal number..

    There are multiple ways to do it, you can do whichever suits your purpose:
    1. You can use Windows Programming to create a window and display the output as desired, without having to print it inside a console
    2. You can use some API like Opengl to give the desired color and decoration.
    Hope it helps!😀
