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/
