Hi there, i'm pretty new to using the command line so I probably am making a bunch of rookie mistakes, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to run the ColorTool.exe -b Dracula.ini line in Powershell. I've attached a really embarrassing screenshot of my sad attempts at getting it to work haha. The directory I cd'd into is the unzipped version of the ColorTool file.

Hm, that's odd! Seems like the files aren't in that directory. Are you certain it unzipped correctly? Sometimes Windows will create an extra "wrapping" directory when unzipping; maybe you need to do another cd ColorTool (so your prompt should be PS C:\Users\miaki\Downloads\ColorTool\ColorTool>) and then run install.cmd

If that still doesn't work, can you please try running dir and then copy/paste the output into this issue?

You have to add a .\ before ColorTool.exe
It should look like this
.\ColorTool.exe -b Dracula.ini
