Since mintty 2.4.0, you can also place the file in a dedicated `themes` subdirectory of a mintty config directory (various options, check the manual). Also, mintty has a direct link...

If cmd.exe passes an argument that contains non-ASCII characters, it embeds it in an (additional) pair of quotes; maybe that's the issue. Test case: `cmd /K C:\cygwin\bin\show-argv "a ö €"`...

Thank you for elaboration, understood. I was imaginating that winpty would intercept invocations of WriteConsole* which would be a different base situation. I wonder though how cygwin handles this, as...

If you run a current version of cygwin on Windows 10, you shouldn't need winpty anymore. If you run MSYS, I suggest to enable ConPTY support by setting MSYS=enable_pcon before...

I do not know whether ConPTY catches a low-level attempt to do I/O in a way deliberately incompatible with terminals, you'll need to try. I also don't know whether you...

It's not useful to build with MSYS for a subtle reason: * The build environment should preferably be the same as for the surrounding mintty terminal. * If mintty is...

Since wsltty includes a stand-alone minimal cygwin installation anyway, there is really no need to bother about an MSYS-based alternative package, even if you use MSYS otherwise.
