+## Cmder Customization
+
+### Powerline Font Setup
+
+Open up Cmder Settings dialog (**Win+Alt+P** when Cmder window is active) and ensure that one of the Powerline font is used for both **Main console font** and **Alternative font** as shown below. The Alternative font is needed for showing the correct icons for git on the PowerShell prompt.  
+
+Here I am using the **Meslo LG M for Powerline** font which I think look quite nice. I tried using **Ubuntu Mono for Powerline**, but for some reason, it messed up my icons.

Also, yours might be located on a different directory than mine since I installed Cmder manually previously._
+
+### Quake Style Setup
+
+Another thing that you might want to customize is to put Cmder into Quake style where you can show and hide it using **Ctrl+~** key.  To do that set the Quake mode setting to something like this:
+

+
+### PowerShell as Default Task Setup
+
+To set PowerShell as your default task whn you open Cmder, ensure that it is set as Specified named task as per figure below.
 
-From inside Cmder / ConEmu settings dialog, ensure you choose the powerline font you wish to used. i.e. Menslo ... for Powerline, etc.

+_Take note of the **profile.ps1** location above inside the Selected contents section.  I already changed this to the **$PROFILE** variable from inside PowerShell.

+_If you are not familiar with Windows, **%USERPROFILE%** is equivalent to **C:\Users\username** (which is the default user profile location in Windows, unless you have moved it somewhere else)._
+
+_Also, you might have this file already or not.  It does not matter.  We'll create one or edit existing one later.  The important thing here is that you need to point the PowerShell task to the right location or your profile customization will not load automatically and you will have to load it manually by typing the following into PowerShell:_

+```
+
+_It's the equivalent of <code>source .bashrc</code> or <code>source .zshrc</code>, etc. if you are familiar with Linux.

+
+To customize your profile you can run <code>ise $PROFILE</code> from PowerShell. _Again, we will do this later, don't bother with it now._
