My bashrc sets the color of the prompt depending on $TERM. My x-windows xterm has a white background and the cygwin default terminal, which has a black background, use to not have $TERM=xterm. I could distinguish between them in the bashrc script, and set the prompt colours accordingly. Now with mintty emulating an xterm, $TERM takes on the string "xterm" (but it has a black background). I would like to find a simple bash script way to tell the difference between when bashrc is being called from a mintty versus an actual x-windows xterm. Can anyone suggest a way?
