I am running Cygwin on W2K and I would like to know how to change my colors. I changed them in the properties section of the consols but it turns out this is only Windows settings and Cygwin's Bash goes on and uses its own colors irrespective. I had a look at man bash and found the section on PROMPTING. I didn't see any information on changing colors but I saw some old archive messages that mention this is the way to change them. Can anyone tell me if this is the way to change colors - and if so how? Should I set PS1 and PS2 in Cygwin.bat as an argument to bash: bash --login -i Thanks for any advice!
