Here, the background color defaults to black and foreground to light. I reversed this using the dos window -> Properties -> Colors. However the bold color does not change. This causes for example man pages to be displayed badly (light text on light background). Is there anything that can be done to change the bold color? I searched on this mailing list and found just one similar question from 10 years ago which was unanswered: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01512.html Hopefully someone can help.
