This is fine. However, there are some applications that are displaying text in other colors, many of which are fine, but some apps display some text in yellow, which on a white background is almost unreadable. For instance, the display from Cassandra's "cqlsh" shows the results of queries in black, purple (probably not quite right), and yellow. The worst part is, it's using yellow for the column values. Is there any way to control this, in general (obviously, not just for cqlsh output)? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
