Steve O [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote around 02 Dec 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: rxvt is a terminal program that can be used instead of the windows command shell. Hi, Steve, Is there _anything_ that can be done about the cursor shape in rxvt? That _od-awful block cursor that obscures the character lying under it drives me nuts. Past messages on this List seemed to indicate in my reading, that this wasn't reconfigurable -- that we are stuck with it. That alone would make me not be infavor of rxvt becoming the default Cygwin terminal --even tho I am using Win98 (part of the time). If there is nothing that can be done at run time, can you suggest a place in the src code for me to start looking at, to change it at build time? Thanks, Soren A P.S. In case it isn't obvious to someone, what I would want to see instead of the block cursor is a flashing underscore-bar (or even a static bar) like in the native Win32 console. -- Yes, it's really Sören, not Soren. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I have the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults: Rxvt*cursorColor: orange Rxvt*cursorColor2: blue This makes the cursor easy to spot, and also keeps the character under the cursor fairly readable. You can tune these colors to your own preference, of course.

I don't have the latest package, but it has never obscured the character for me. I do, and it's the same as it's always been for me: block inverse, not obscuring in any way. Soren, do you have whacked-out colors set up or a goofy PS1 or something? I've got this: PS1=$'\\[\\033]0;\\w\\007\n\\033[32m\\]\\u@\\h \\[\\033[33m\\w\\033[0m\\]\n$ ' and that gives me MyLogin@MyComputerName ~ $ _ where MyLogin@MyComputerName is green, ~ is a sickly yellow, $ is black, and the _ is really a block cursor that's black and inverses the character under it. Screen background is white. Works like a charm, and I believe it's the Cygwin-installed default. -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer.

Shift-KP- and Shift-KP+ no longer change the font size in Windows mode. The hotkeys work fine in X-Window mode. -Original Message- From: Steve O [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 12:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated cygwin package: rxvt-2.7.9-2 Hi, rxvt is a terminal program that can be used instead of the windows command shell. It does not require an X server. This release fixes some multibyte character issues and is built with --enable-languages, thanks to a series of patches from Cole Lin. It also re-enables xpm support, thanks to a heads-up from Frank-Michael. -steve -Installation Instructions- To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
