High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The implementation of computer monitor text mode on VGA compatible hardware is quite complex. Its use on PC compatible computers was widespread in 1980s–1990s (particularly under DOS systems), but persists today for some applications even on modern desktop computers. Main features of VGA text mode are colored (arbitrary 16 color palette) characters and their background, blinking, various shapes of the cursor (block/underline/hidden static/blinking), loadable fonts (with various glyph sizes). Linux console usually (but not necessary) uses hardware VGA compatible text modes, and Win32 console environment has an ability to switch its application to text mode for some text window sizes.
