Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server. Mintty is based on code from PuTTY by Simon Tatham and team.
The setup.exe package is for Cygwin 1.7 only. (A Cygwin 1.5 version is available from the project page at http://mintty.googlecode.com.) CHANGES ======= - Extended the --icon option to be able to load the program icon from executables and DLLs as well as .ICO files. An icon index can also be specified, e.g. '--icon C:/Windows/explorer.exe,6'. - Added 'Use system colours' checkbox for overriding the colour settings with the standard Windows text and background colours (usually black-on-white, as seen e.g. in notepad). - The 'Opaque when focused' setting now applies in glass transparency mode too. - Implemented dim and invisible text attributes as specified in ECMA-48. These are selected with the "\e[2m" and "\e[8m" sequences. - Fixed the 'Ctrl+LeftAlt is AltGr' setting, which was applied the wrong way round. QUESTIONS ========= The mintty manual is installed as a manpage ('man mintty'), and it's also available in PDF format at http://mintty.googlecode.com/files/mintty-0.5.4.pdf.
