It supports and it's working with transparent backround without that refresh problem I had with other terms!!! YEAH!!! But theres one thing I can't get to work. The hotkeys to change tabs or something. Has anyone get this working on cygwin X and how?? With which Key definition?? I usually use Exceed and not the cygwin X server, but the Gnome settings as described in doc/TIPS work for me: Gnome-terminal style default hotkeys: Ctrl_Shift_t: create a new tab Ctrl_Shift_w: close active tab Ctrl_PgUp : activate left tab Ctrl_PgDn : activate right tab Meta_1 : activate 1st tab ... Meta_9 : activate 9th tab Ctrl_Shift_+: increase font size (next font) Ctrl_= : increase font size (next font) Ctrl_Shift__: decrease font size (previous font) Ctrl_- : decrease font size (previous font) Cheers, Charles
Re: Tabbed xterm

I don't know if this is a xterm feature or a gnome feature or neither, but is this something that could be implemented under cygwin xfree? AFAIR there is some rxvt cole which can do this. Search the mailinglist archives. The keyword tabbed xterm or xterm tabs should help. mrxvt is 'rxvt console' you're looking for: http://materm.sourceforge.net/ is the homepage I downloaded mrxvt-0.4.0.tar.gz, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/materm/mrxvt-0.4.0.tar.gz?download configured as told to do in the README file, http://materm.sourceforge.net/docs/README ./configure --enable-everything --disable-debug then 'make' and 'make install'.

RE: Problems building PerlTK on cygwin
Markus Jung wrote: Hi List! Please can anyone help me with the following error during the make of PerlTK. I'm using cygwin/x-free on an windows XP box with WindowMaker. I've downloaded the PerlTK-Sources from CPAN. Is there a problem with this sources on cygwin. Does anyone know about a cygwin package for PerlTK? I've built and use Tk 800.024 (I haven't tried 804.027, the latest) that uses X-windows. I've never tried the windows-specific version. Here's what I did: * From http://search.cpan.org/~ni-s/Tk-800.024/ download and unzip Tk-800.024 * cygwin> perl Makefile.PL x ^ tells it to use X-windows You could try 'perl Makefile.PL' if you want to try without (all this is mentioned in the README.cygwin) * cygwin> make * cygwin> make install * cygwin> Since I had an older version of perl, I also need to: cygwin> cd /usr/X11R6/lib cygwin> ln -s libX11.dll.a libX11.a BEFORE I built TK. Gerrit P. Haase says that this issue has been fixed with perl-5.8.5 for Cygwin (I haven't checked). Good luck, Charles
Windows XP SP2 - anybody tried it yet?
Good day, Microsoft is getting ready to push out SP2 via their automatic update. What experiences have people had with using cygwin applications with sp2 installed (particularly with the "improved" firewall)? Thanks, Charles
