#364 Full 256 color Xterm-compatible terminal emulation
Please add full support of 256 color Xterm terminal emulation. When running cygwin inside console2, and running mc (midnight commander), the emulation is good. Colors and text is rendered properly. vim renders colors properly with no .vimrc, however if I use a simple .vimrc with "set t_Col=256", (which tells vim the terminal supports 256 colors) and then using one of many standard color schemes for vim, the the colors are not rendered at all. (In the shell, setting TERM using a command like "export TERM=xterm-256color", does not help...) So it seems only 16 color Xterm terminal emulation is supported.
Standard console window, used by most command-line tools, supports only 16 colors. In other words, you're asking to add 256-color support to cmd.exe, which is not a feature request for Console.
