Thanks, but I guess my explanation wasn't clear enough. What I would like to be able to configure are the colors that mintty uses to display the 16 colors of a 16-color terminal. I guess these are termed ANSI colors. These are the colors that programs such as grep, ls and vim use when executed in a color terminal.My specific problem is that the blue that mintty displays for ANSI color 4 or 12 is so dark that blue characters are illegible on a black background. I've adjusted the color that rxvt uses by putting Rxvt.color12: #007fff Rxvt.color4: #007fff in my ~/.Xdefaults file, but I can't find the equivalent, if there is one, for mintty. There is some mention of this in the mintty man page, in the section on "Changing the ANSI colours", but that is not the same as being able to configure mintty so that it always uses a particular palette. mple
ahh sorry. you may have already seen this... looks like there may not be one unless this change request and reversion was re-implemented http://groups.google.com/group/mintty-discuss/browse_thread/thread/33cb565e4f32f146 It does appear to provide a means to do it yourself(recompile required). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
