Newbie question again: Where can I change the background/font color for XWin? I changed fonts/color, and it seemd that it affected Cygwin shell, but CygXwin shell kept its own original preference; yellow letters on black background.
How/where can I change it? I'd like to see white letters on black background. Thank you.
