Fair enough if urxvt is exactly what you like. Not sure what you meant by the colour comment though, both urxvt and mintty support 256 colours... http://superuser.com/questions/736873/enable-256-colors-for-...

I tried the above for colors in mintty, nice, thanks.

As for running mintty in conemu, it's still not quite right. If I figure it out, this will be what I recommend to people.

But for me, I like having urxvt the same at home on linux and at work in cygwin. I use urxvt's keyboard management of its tabs a lot.
