Hi,

Here's what I do. Just open the properties of the CMD.EXE box that opens 
when you click on the cygwin icon. (Right click the little icon on the top 
left.) You can change a number of properties like background and text 
colors. It does stay associated with the icon although you might have to 
select an option to get this to happen, don't recall right now. It does 
work rather nicely for me so I suspect it will for you. Oh, I just realized 
that this is for NT/2K so if you are using 9X/ME then you will have to use 
one of the other options for the command shell besides COMMAND.EXE  - don't 
recall which they are right now but a check of the archives should tell you.

HTH

Cheers

Henry
