Hi, very nice project. I love it. The problem I have right now is enabling 256 color support. I have the following startup:

-new_console:d:C:\Users\fbm "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

Here's what happens when I ran the 256color perl script:

acts the same even with the {cmd} named task.

I was looking into enabling 256 color from windows 10 when I SSH to linux hosts. One option I found that seems a lot simpler and cleaner is to add putty as a new task. You can find steps here
