Vista Tutorial - change fonts permanently for ALL colors

using $Host.PrivateData.*ColorName* = "Color"

I can change the following colors of the powershell:

DebugForeGroundColor
DebugBackGroundColor
ErrorForeGroundColor
ErrorBackGroundColor
ProgressForeGroundColor
ProgressBackGroundColor
VerboseForeGroundColor
VerboseBackGroundColor
WarningForeGroundColor
WarningBackGroundColor

Unfortunately they are only changed for the scope of the session. As
soon as I reopen the powershells these settings are gone. How can I
change the colors permanently for all colors ?

Put the changes in your profile then they will be applied every time to start

That should work IF it is a small file. It does it by reading the entire
file and displaying the last 5 lines. If your file is 2 GB, then it will
read all 2 GB before giving you the last 5 lines. I haven't found the best
way to implement true tail like functionality in PSH. I am guessing that it
would require using .Net.
