I started running MSYS a few days ago, but I was a bit disappointed by
rxvt. Some googling turned up this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/console screenshot : http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=43764 Console2 has all the bling a hacker could want - great font support, tabs, transparency, nice cursor animations, etc. I'm using the Consolas font included with Vista. MSYS Bash didn't work out of the box, but I fixed it by changing the startup command to: cmd /C .....\bin\bash.exe It's a young project but seems to work pretty well.

Yeah, I find it rather disappointing too, which is why I run MSYS in `--norxvt' mode. > Some googling turned up this project: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/console > screenshot: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=43764 > > Console2 has all the bling a hacker could want - great font support, > tabs, transparency, nice cursor animations, etc. Didn't have time to follow up on this, when Adam posted the tip, and just got around to it this morning. Shame that, while they publish under GPL, they don't enter into its spirit in their choice of development tools; it has a dependency on MSVCP71.dll, suggesting that they use MSVC-7.1. I don't have that on my Win2K box, so this pig doesn't fly. > It's a young project but seems to work pretty well. Have fun, It doesn't work at all, for me. I guess I'll just stick with MSYS, warts and all, in a native Woe32 console.

That will now become my default terminal. MSYS.bat --norxvt did not work for me. I just used "sh -login" for my startup command and voila this is now about half what I have in Linux.
