The lighter the terminal background gets, the less it's recognized as a terminal background. So, instead of making the tty background lighter, are there other choices to make the Cygwin C better stand out? - What if the green glow around the black C glows a bit more? - What if the green glow is replaced with a pretty light grey glow, just to help distinguishing the C from the background? - Only in 48x48, what if the C is made one pixel bigger in each direction, perhaps combined with a lighter glow, green or grey? It would probably be easier if I could handle gimp better, but I'm still trying to untangle my fingers from the mouse cord...
