I have installed Console2 and Cygwin too. I like to run Cygwin terminal as Console2. So i want to integrate Console2 over Cygwin. I have seen other guys use Cygwin like that. How to do it?

I have a batch script's path in the tab's Shell field, with this as its contents:

@echo off

set path=%PROGRAMPATH%\cygwin\bin;%PROGRAMPATH%\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%
set SHELL=/bin/bash
set CYGWIN=codepage:437
set HOME=/home/paradroid

%PROGRAMPATH%\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i

Obviously, you will need to edit the Cygwin path and the username for the home directory.

Woww! Thats works!! Thats so great and thanks!! Additionally, let me know-- What is %PROGRAMPATH% ? I used static "C:" for that. – 4lvin Jul 26 '11 at 1:24
@4lvin: It's an environmental variable example which I said you would need to alter to fit the way you have things set up. – paradroid Jul 26 '11 at 1:47
Thanks paradroid. It works for me now. Do you have a way to change the details color theme of Console? – 4lvin Jul 26 '11 at 1:51
@4lvin: I'm not sure what you mean, but I just alter the standard ANSI colours in the Console2 settings slightly (lighter) so that they display nicely across all shells I use. If you want to change specific colour settings in Cygwin you will need to edit your .bashrc. – paradroid Jul 26 '11 at 2:01
