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?
