Added a troubleshooting item that describes this problem, and suggests running "task colors" to determine just which colors are supported. --- html/troubleshooting.html | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/html/troubleshooting.html b/html/troubleshooting.html index f175d56d2..6a477f548 100644 --- a/html/troubleshooting.html +++ b/html/troubleshooting.html @@ -83,6 +83,24 @@

Do colors work under Cygwin?

+
+

+ They do, but only in a limited way. You can use regular + foreground colors (black, red, green ...) and you can + regular background colors (on_black, on_red, on_green ...), + but underline and bold are not supported. +

+ +

+ If you run the command: +

% task colors
+ Task will display all the colors it can use, and you will + see which ones you can use. +
