I replaced the cygwin.bat call of "bash --login -i" with this:
rem edd 26 Mar 2002 switched to rxvt (also from cygwin)
rem bash --login -i
rem this trick from the mailing list (John Wiersba, 29 Jun 2001)
rxvt -g 80x70+200+50 -fg #000055 -bg #eeeeee -fn "Courier-11" -sr -sl 5000 -vb
-e
/bin/bash --login -i
I'm sure you can adjust the color arguments for foreground (fg) and background
(bg) to your liking. I can't remember whether rxvt is in the default Cygwin
installation, if not I highly recommend adding it. The default terminal is
pretty terrible. Rxvt allows cut and paste to windows apps with is nice.
