I am using cygwin via mintty, which is the default. I installed ncurses. I then run these commands to see what my color pallet is for this terminal session:
$ tput colors
8
I have googled but so far nothing. How can I get a nice 256 color palette for my mintty cygwin terminal instead of the default (lame) 8 colors?
If you use mintty, you can apparently set the terminal type to xterm-256... – CMCDragonkai – 2014-06-04T01:11:06.280
