How do I enable msysgit colored output when using console2


I'm having a hard time enabling git colored output on windows when using console2.

To trick git I've already SET TERM = 'cygwin'. This enabled the colors from a standard cmd.exe prompt but not in console2. I've verified that console2 can see the env var as well.

Anyone know how to get this working?


Solution

  • Ok, wow. The solution is to disable custom font color in console2. If enabled, it overrides the expected colors.

    I use a custom color to give me opaque text when using c2's alpha transparency. I completely forgot about it.
