Created attachment 139575 [details] default cygwin and latest NetBeans build
I was looking at this issue and, think that I'm not going to fix it. I cannot change user's PS1 - that would be unfair.. I also cannot tweak colors - escape sequences are well-defined and expected to work as specified.. I can propose users to set PS1 in their .bashrc to other value. And this could be done conditionally depending on NBMAGIC env variable presence: # Make prompt readable on a while bg (for NB) if [ -n "${NBMAGIC}" ] ; then export PS1="\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[34m\]\u@\h \[\e[35m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ " fi Not sure if it is a good idea to automate this bashrc modification from within the IDE... I'm open for other ideas. Please re-open the issue with new suggestions.
