Yes. Don't use the cmd-based cygwin interface.
Use rxvt.
Install the rxvt package with setup, then use something like the 
following (I suggest creating a shortcut):

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 10000 -sr +sk -si -sw -fg Green -bg Black -e 
/bin/bash --login -i

Use the man pages and other docs to find out what the various options 
mean and how to change the font.

keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
