It’s deeply customizable, too—you might even setanimated GIFsas the background.
Beyond the background, you might change the terminal’s theme, too.
Microsoft even included several pre-set themes.
All you need is a text editor and some basic familiarity with JSON.
The best way to do that is from File Explorer.
Launch File Explorer and find a JSON file.
If you don’t have one, create one.
Right-choose File Explorer and “New” then choose “Text document.”
If you don’t see the .txt file extension,tell File Explorer to show file extensions.
Next, right-press the new JSON file and choose the “Open With” option.
Choose your preferred text editor, whether that beNotepad++or Notepad.
A JSON file will launch in the editor you choose earlier.
you could make all changes here.
AppData is a folder you usually find in the User Profile and is used for storing program controls.
UWP apps create a custom AppData folder and use that instead.
Place your image files here, and Windows Terminal can use them for backgrounds.
Open configs in Windows Terminal, and scroll to the profile you want to change.
There are several profiles under the ““profiles” :” section.
Each corresponds to an option in the menu: Cmd, PowerShell, Linux distros, and so on.
check that every line in the section—except the last one—ends with a comma.
Save the file, and your changes should show up immediately, even with the Windows Terminal open.
you’re able to choose themes individually for Command Prompt, Bash, and PowerShell.
Command Prompt is found under:“commandline” : “cmd.exe”, for instance.
Then change the"colorScheme" : “Campbell"to the color of your choice.
These are the same color schemes used byMicrosoft’s colortool utility.
Windows Terminal is pretty interesting, and it gives you a small taste of Microsoft’s formerWindows Setsfeature.
The tabbed functionality here isn’t as robust, but it’s a hint at what could have been.
