[WSL] ZSH Powerline looks better with tmux than without

[eblis]

Installed Windows Subsystem for Linux
ConEmu version 180309, added Linux::Bash task with the following config:
set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe --wsl -cur_console:pm:/mnt
Installed ZSH, Oh-my-zsh from https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh and powerline from https://github.com/powerline/powerline using pip.
Configured ZSH prompt https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/shell-prompts.html#zsh-prompt, Vim status line https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/other.html#vim-statusline and Tmux status line https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/other.html#tmux-statusline.

When starting Linux::Bash I get a different set of colors compared to when I start tmux in the bash session and it starts ZSH for me. The colors only look correct when zsh is started within tmux.

As you can see even the dircolors look different, even though I've used the same settings: https://github.com/seebi/dircolors-solarized, dircolors.256dark.
It feels like though when zsh is started normally I don't get the full 256 colors.

I think I fixed it by adding -cur_console:h0 to the "Linux::Bash" task definition.
Maybe this setting should be added automatically by ConEmu ? To ensure that we get 256 colors support by default ?

It's in RoadMap. I don't want to limit backscroll buffer just because of colors.
