Hi, your symptom description is quite sparse... Am 21.05.2017 um 22:45 schrieb Sky Diver: Lately I noticed that colors are not showing by default in some situations. The most apparent case is when running composer. What "composer"? The latest composer version on "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" console, and even when running it via a mintty shell looks just fine. But from cygwin the output is monochrome. "From cygwin" could mean (guessing) from a cygwin console window, where your TERM setting would be "cygwin". That could cause an application to assume no colour support. So it would help if you tell us what your settings are. I would love to understand what's going on.

ANSI colors not showing by default
Lately I noticed that colors are not showing by default in some situations. The most apparent case is when running composer. The latest composer version on "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" console, and even when running it via a mintty shell looks just fine. But from cygwin the output is monochrome. Attached is cygcheck.out. I would love to understand what's going on. I tried the following: - Change the TERM var to several values - Renamed my home-dir and dropped into a shell in order to get a clean new home-dir. - Installed cygwin from scratch Any help would be appreciated. cygcheck.out Description: Binary data -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
