you can help me, little doubt: my console does not switch the color of the
text, even I started to color specified in the parameter?

it displays the color code out instead of color, background no change too

anyone help me?

yes, as discussed in IRC this is a problem in the Nifty Slick2d Renderer.
Addes as an issue to the tracker here -> https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?fun

I found another problem in the console, when we add the controller via XML it,
simply rude to the console working (lets not add any text on it).

See the code below, I created 3Tabs, each tab has a console inside each
console controller calls the

public class ConsoleController implements Controller {

            Attributes attributes) {

        System.out.println("bind() called for element: " + element);
    }

        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onFocus(boolean getFocus) {
        System.out.println("onFocus() called for element: " + element + ", with: " +
                getFocus);

    }

    }

      @NiftyEventSubscriber(id="consoleGameChat")
      public void onConsoleCommand(final String id, final ConsoleExecuteCommandEvent command) {
        Console console = screen.findNiftyControl("consoleGameChat", Console.class);
        console.output("Voce digitou: " + command.getCommandLine() + " [" + command.getArgumentCount() + " parametro(s)]", de.lessvoid.nifty.tools.Color.BLACK);
        if ("exit".equals(command.getCommand())) {
          System.gc();
          System.exit(0);
        }
      }
}

In the method "initGameAndGUI" I call the code below and he always returns my System.out.println ("in the console exists");

        Console console = getNifty().getCurrentScreen().findNiftyControl("consoleHelp",Console.class);
        ConsoleCommand helpCommand = new HelpCommand(getNifty());
        if (console!=null){
            System.out.println("Console exist!");
        ConsoleCommands consoleCommands = new ConsoleCommands(getNifty(), console);
        consoleCommands.registerCommand("/m", helpCommand);
        consoleCommands.registerCommand("/h", helpCommand);
        consoleCommands.enableCommandCompletion(true);
        final Color HELP_COLOR = new Color("#aaaf");
        console.changeColors(HELP_COLOR, HELP_COLOR);
        } else {
            System.out.println("in the console exists!");
        }

I may be oxml fills in the wrong way, but everything works out it ta, normal,
until I realized that given time the console has been problematic, the
interesting thing is that if I do the same thing via Java code, it works
perfectly. What appears is: When you load the XML it lets you do some actions.

Another problem, when I use the code below, the controller spotting him, but
he will not let me add text to the console and press Enter after typing.

if I have three consoles, one in each tab, depending on where he put the code
in the same effect fazo 3 Consoles or only 1 or 2, very weird.
