I'll have a proper look later. Problem: the shortcuts have the classic Cygwin icon whereas the resulting terminal window has the mintty (n=C3=A9e Konsole) icon. Worse, on Windows 7 at least, the Cygwin icon also appears in the taskbar. It needs to be the same icon throughout. That raises the obvious question: which one? I vote for mintty's, but of course I'm biased. I don't think the classic Cygwin icon is fit for purpose anymore, because of its jagged lines and because the black 'C' is invisible on dark backgrounds. Andy
