What you recall is not necessarily the default for the Cygwin install.
The cygwin.bat file, which is what you're running, runs the Windows DOS
prompt and uses the defaults (colors, fonts, etc) for this.  If you saw
something else previously here its because you made some changes in this
regard.  I can't tell you why don't see these changes now.

Maybe not.
