Hi Dylan, for historical reasons I start my rxvt with: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -g 120x50+732+0 -bg lightsalmon -fg black -fn "Lucida Console-11" -sr -sl 5000 -e /bin/bash --login -i
So I can use the named colors, "lighsalmon" works fine on my box. OTOH I am not really sure *why* it works, since the only rbx.txt I've found was in the vim package. I've detected that the DLLs cygtk80.dll and libW11.dll seem to have included this symbolic names, but neither is used for rxvt ...
