Changing default terminal in Codeblocks

Windows cmd does not support ANSI colour codes and there are a lot of better terminals in the internet. I'm new to code::blocks and want to change the default terminal. What I did is:

Settings>Environment and I just can't change "Terminal to launch console programs" field. How can I do that?

If you're using qterminal, go to Settings>Environment>"Terminal to launch console programs" and write qterminal -e

The cmd window used in code::blocks will support ansi escapes in windows but it has to be enabled. Try this:

HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
if (hConsole != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {    
   DWORD mode = 0;
   if (GetConsoleMode((hConsole, &mode) {
      mode |=0x0004;
      SetConsoleMode(hConsole, mode);
   }
}

I think you can't able to change default terminal on Window's Operating System because none other is present there. But if you are using Linux like Ubuntu you can change it's default command window as gnome-terminal --title=$TITLE -x in place of xterm -T $TITLE -e on Settings>Environment>"Terminal to launch console programs"
