Is there a way to change the text of the command line in emacs? I do not know, what the real name of the command line at the bottom ist, but I marked it on the picture. It is the blue text at the bottom:

    The "command line" at the bottom is called the minibuffer. Commented Jul 28, 2011 at 23:00

The bottom part is called minibuffer if I recall correctly.

M-x customize-face minibuffer-prompt

Thnx, pushing "alt+x" and typing : "customize-face" "minibuffer-prompt" opened a cusomization menu, where the color of minibuffer is called "foreground color"

Two possibilities for this one:

One: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/old/faq4.html Just scroll down until you see the part about color, in which it gives you the libraries where you can change emacs colors using RGB values.

Two: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme This one's definitely a lot more robust than you need, but it's basically a 'plugin' of sorts that allows you to customize literally any color in emacs, or use premade color themes.
