Friendly Output: Friendly Output: Colors and Progress, Your Script Can Have a Window Too.

Updated November 10, 2026

1. Friendly Output: Colors and Progress (Journeyman): Write-Progress shows a progress bar while a long job runs, so nobody wonders whether it's stuck, and $PSStyle colors make the important lines stand out on the screen, as long as the colors stay in what you show and never go into the objects a tool hands back.
2. Your Script Can Have a Window Too (Freelancer): On Windows, a script can open a small window of its own with .NET's Windows Forms: a form, a list, a button and a label, with a script block that runs when the button is clicked, so a colleague who would rather click can use your tool without typing a command.
