title: Cygwin: Import Color Scheme from "Color Scheme Designer"
body: <p>I am exploring how to get color coding in the Cygwin terminal.  </p>
  
  <p>First, I right click on the Cygwin icon and select "options":</p>

  <p>Next, I see the following options panel.  However, there are no themes.  Instead, there is a button to a "Color Scheme Designer": </p>

  <p>When I click on "Color Scheme Designer," I am directed to the following web page (the website interface of a GitHub project--fork on the bottom left) in my browser  (<a href="http://ciembor.github.io/4bit/#" rel="noreferrer">Color Scheme Designer</a>):</p>

  <p>In the top right corner is a button labeled, "get scheme", which yields the next panel, </p>

  <p>If I right click on the buttons in this final panel and click, "copy link," all the color settings are saved in the particular formatting of the button on my clipboard. Then I can paste it into a file.  </p>
  
  <p>It is at this last step where I am stuck.  </p>

  <p>How do I get one of these color schemes into the Cygwin theme list? Note that there is a button next to the "Color Scheme Designer" (picture 2) that is greyed out, named "Store"... so there seems to be some functionality where I can store one of these custom color schemes so that it shows up in the "Theme" dropdown? </p>
