Re: window manager

AFAIK, font sizes are application specific and have nothing to do with the window manager.

I'm not sure what you mean by colors. You mean like the Windows desktop
themes?


I meant the xterm background and text colors, I guess that doesn't really have anything to do with the window manager.


some way of opening more windows or other x applications with a menu of
some kind.



Is Start->All Programs->Cygwin-X not sufficient? You want a real X window manager instead of the Windows one?




I guess I was thinking more along the lines of linux windows managers. The instation didn't create a Cygwin-X entry in my start menu and I'm not sure how to add one. I can add the startxwin.bat but I can only run that once and when I try and create a shortcut to xterm.exe it just exits right after it loads.
