Customizing Graphical PowerShell/ISE

Graphical PowerShell, also known as the PowerShell Scripting Environment (ISE) can be customized using an object model.

There is a variable called $psISE in the ISE.

   1: PS >$psise | gm | select Name

2:

   3: Name

   4: ----

   5: Equals

   6: GetHashCode

   7: GetType

   8: ToString

   9: CurrentOpenedFile

  10: CurrentOpenedRunspace

  11: CustomMenu

  12: OpenedRunspaces

  13: Options

In there we have options, customMenus, and a number of other cool things. Here we can change the Scripting Pane color to “black”

Thanks Andy.
This helped me to adjust my prompt function for ISE.
Now I’m guessing if there is a way to use $psise.CustomMenu to add CommentBlock and UnCommentBlock commands.
