Hi,

I am using zsh (version 4.3.10) on cygwin with mintty as the terminal. 
Is it possible to change the background color of mintty when I change 
directories? One can change the colors in mintty on the fly by sending 
escape sequences as described here:

I just don't know how to get this to work w/ zsh as the directory is 
changed.

Thanks!

The chpwd() function is called by zsh every time the current directory
changes, and all functions listed in the chpwd_functions array (ie,
chpwd_functions=( myfoo_chpwd ) would make myfoo_chpwd be called too).
