Needs review for Cygwin 2.5.2 and Windows 10.
Overview
All terminal scripts for a default cygwin installation should be placed in /home/<username>/bin. If the "bin" directory does not exist, create it.
Relevance
For Cygwin 2.3.1 I did not find rxvt so everything below might be obsolete.
Default rxvt Terminal
1. Create /home/ovidiu/bin/cygwin-rxvt.bat
@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin start rxvt -sr -sl 10000 -geometry 120x60 -fg gray -bg black -fn "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-10-10-m-0-iso8859-2" -e /bin/bash --login -i
2. Make it executable
cd ~/bin chmod a+x cygwin-rxvt.bat
3. Copy and paste the existing desktop Cygwin Terminal icon, place the copy on the desktop.
4. Edit the copy of the icon as follows:
- General tab - Name: cygwin
- Shortcut tab - Target: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin\cygwin-rxvt.bat
- Shortcut tab - Start in: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu
5. Drag the icon to quick-launch and then delete the icon from the desktop.
6. Optional - if you don't like the icon, copy the .ico from the current machine into C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin and change the icon on the shortcut.
Large Fonts rxvt Terminal
1. Create /home/ovidiu/bin/cygwin-rxvt-large-fonts.bat
@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin start rxvt -sr -sl 10000 -geometry 120x60 -fg black -bg white -fn -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -e /bin/bash --login -i
2. Make it executable:
cd ~/bin chmod a+x cygwin-rxvt-large-fonts.bat
3. Copy and paste the existing desktop Cygwin Terminal icon, place the copy on the desktop.
4. Edit the copy of the icon as follows:
- General tab - Name: cygwin (winterm)
- Shortcut tab - Target: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin\cygwin-rxvt-large-fonts.bat
- Shortcut tab - Start in: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu
5. Drag the icon to quick-launch and then delete the icon from the desktop.
6. Optional - if you don't like the icon, copy the .ico from the current machine into C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin and change the icon on the shortcut.
Windows Native Terminal
1. Create /home/ovidiu/bin/cygwin-winterm.bat
@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i
2. Make it executable:
cd ~/bin chmod a+x cygwin-winterm.bat
3. Copy and paste the existing desktop Cygwin Terminal icon, place the copy on the desktop.
4. Edit the copy of the icon as follows:
- General tab - Name: cygwin (large fonts)
- Shortcut tab - Target: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin\cygwin-winterm.bat
- Shortcut tab - Start in: C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu
5. Drag the icon to quick-launch and then delete the icon from the desktop.
6. Optional - if you don't like the icon, copy the .ico from the current machine into C:\cygwin\home\ovidiu\bin and change the icon on the shortcut.
