I have not done this with cygwin-x before,
but I do it with my sun solaris.

Create .Xdefaults at home directory if does not already exists.
google or man xterm should tell you more.
Enter/append lines similar to these:

xterm*scrollBar: true
xterm*saveLines: 4000
xterm*cursorColor: Red
xterm*pointerColor: Blue
xterm*borderColor: Red

alternatively invoke the xterm with the pertinent command line parameters...

xterm --help
......


xterm -sb -sl 2500 -sr ----etc, etc, etc
