Is that right? > I am not quite sure. If you configure by running nt/configure.bat, then you will get a native Windows binary of Emacs. For the Cygwin build, you need to run the `configure' shell script in the top-level directory of the Emacs tree. (However, note that to use the Cygwin build you will need to install an X server.) > I have used MingW will reasonable success.

Are you perhaps invoking Emacs as "emacs -nw"? What do you see if you type "M-x colors-display RET"? > I presume that this is > because I did not included any image support stuff like the link you > mentioned does suggest. This should only affect the tool-bar buttons, not the colors available to Emacs for buffer text.
