when i run the cygwin bash shell on system startup from the startup entry in the registry the foreground/background color and other properties are not applied to the command shell in which bash runs.
in the properties dialogue for the cygwin shell shortcut, one can adjust the foreground/background color, font characteristics, layout and icon of the command shell window in which bash runs. the properties dialogue can be entered from the command shell window or by right clicking on the shortcut. however, these properties are associated with the shortcut, not with the batch file which runs bash. as a consequence, when invoking bash by running the batch file, which is named cygwin.bat and is in a path something like n:\cygwin\cygwin.bat, the properties are not applied and one ends up with a generic command shell window - white text on black background, default layout, no icon. how can one associate the properties with the batch file cygwin.bat such that they stay with the command shell? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
