Adding Transparency to cygwin
Recently I have been using cygwin regularly, the best thing about it is that it provides many useful tools such as grep in windows. In Linux you can customize the terminal to look just the way you want it for instance you can add transparency, etc. You can apply similar look and feel changes such as transparency to cygwin using a small tool called mintty.
To install minty:
- Run the setup.exe file available on cygwin website.
- when you reach the package selection page search for mintty mark it to be installed.
To apply mintty to the cygwin terminal every time it starts you would need to edit the .bat file you use to run cgwin. Edit the file and replace the start line with the following:
start mintty bash --login -i
After installing mintty you can go through the options and customize it the way you prefer.

Crystal Galaxy 1.0b
“Crystal galaxy” a game powered by the “Effect Engine”, Joseph’s JavaScript/DHTML library that provides the framework for displaying and animating all the graphics, playing all the sounds & music, handling the keyboard & mouse, and sprite collision detection. One of the best games I have seen on the web. It runs smoothly. The team that designed the game has also provided their API to develpopers so that they can create their own game using the API.
