A collection of profiles, color schemes, and other settings for Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal is a new, modern, feature-rich, productive terminal application for command-line users. It includes support for creating custom color schemes and adding new terminal shells through a settings.json file.

Profiles

A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel. Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown. For more information see the profile schema.

To use a profile, copy the JSON text for your desired terminal shell and paste it into the profiles section in settings.json.

"profiles": {
   "list": [
     // Put your profile here...
   ]
}

For profiles that have an icon, if the icon is in the ms-appdata:///roaming/ format, you can copy the icon to the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\RoamingState folder and it will automatically appear.

Color schemes

A color scheme specifies the colors used by a terminal shell. One color scheme can be used by multiple terminal shells. For more information on the [color schemes] (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/cascadia/SettingsSchema.md#schemes) schema.

Properties listed below are specific to each color scheme. You can use ColorTool or terminal.sexy to create and explore new color schemes.

To use a color scheme, copy the JSON text for your desired scheme and paste it into the schemes section in settings.json.

"schemes": [
     // Put your scheme here...
]

Bugs and feature requests

Do you have a bug or a request? Please use the issue tracker and search for existing and closed issues. If your problem or request isn't addressed yet, go ahead and open a new issue.

Contributing

You can also get involved and fork the repository to submit your own pull requests.

Profiles

If you want to create a new profile, use the _template.json file as a starting point and submit a pull request or an issue. Don't include any machine or user specific paths (for things such as startingDirectory), color schemes, fonts, font sizes and things that the end-user might want to personalize for their own environment.

You will also need to set a GUID value. Don't use the empty GUID value in the template.

If you want a custom icon, be sure to include it with the issue or pull request and set the icon path to be ms-appdata:///roaming/file.png (where file.png is the name of your icon file). Be sure images are sized to 32x32 pixels.

Color schemes

If you want to create a new scheme, use the _template.json file as a starting point and submit a pull request or an issue. All colors use hex color format.
