Новое приложение Windows Terminal, может похвастаться вкладками, запускать Cmd, PowerShell, Bash и Python в одном окне. Новый терминал легко настроить, вы даже можете установить анимированные GIF-изображения в качестве фона. Вы можете использовать Командную строку, PowerShell или Linux с прозрачным фоном в терминале Windows, вот как включить эту функцию.
Наряду со способностью устанавливать собственные темы и изменять цвет фона, вы также можете применять акриловый фон для добавления эффектов прозрачности и размытия с помощью Microsoft Fluent Design System.
В этом руководстве для Windows 10, вы узнаете, как включить и настроить эффект прозрачности в терминале Windows.
Как включить Прозрачность в Windows Terminal
Чтобы включить акриловый прозрачный фон на терминале, выполните следующие действия:
Шаг 1: Откройте Windows Terminal.
Шаг 2: Нажмите кнопку меню (стрелка вниз) рядом с вкладкой.
Шаг 3: Нажмите «Параметры».
Подсказка. Рекомендуется использовать редактор который включает в себя схему JSON, это упрощает изменение настроек, но можно использовать обычный блокнот.
Шаг 4: В разделе «defaults» скопируйте и вставьте следующую команду, чтобы включить прозрачность во всех приложениях командной строки:
"useAcrylic": true,
"acrylicOpacity": 0.5
Шаг 5: И сохраните JSON файл.
Если вы хотите настроить прозрачный фон, только для одного приложения, например powershell
В разделе «list» выберите профиль (приложение), чтобы установить акриловый фон. Например, после:
«commandline»: «powershell.exe»
вставьте запятую ( ,) в конце строки, скопируйте и вставьте следующие строки:
"useAcrylic": true,
"acrylicOpacity": 0.5
Вы можете это повторить для Командной строки и др.
(Необязательно) В настройках «acrylicOpacity» измените значение выбранного уровня прозрачности. Например, 0.6 сделает фон менее прозрачным, а 0.4 сделает фон более прозрачным.
Сохраните файл, чтобы применить изменения.
Выполнив эти шаги, вы можете использовать Windows Terminal с акриловым фоном для определенного приложения или всех приложений сразу в зависимости от вашей конфигурации.

As you may know, Microsoft released a new Windows Terminal, which is currently in preview. However, it has some great new features, and a lot of people are currently trying it out. Now I got a lot of questions about how you can change the background of the Windows Terminal. So I decided to write a quick blog post about how you can configure and customize the Windows Terminal background image. There are multiple ways you can do this. And you can not only change the color or use a background image, but you can also change the opacity, and if it should use the acrylic Windows effect.
Customize the Windows Terminal Background Image
First open the settings of the Windows Terminal app, which will open a JSON file, where the settings are stored.
Windows Terminal Settings
This will allow you to customize the settings and colors of the terminal. Every console has a so-called profile, which you can modify. Let’s start with adding a background image.
{
"acrylicOpacity" : 0.5,
"closeOnExit" : true,
"colorScheme" : "VibrantInk",
"commandline" : "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\6\\pwsh.exe",
"cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
"cursorShape" : "bar",
"fontFace" : "Consolas",
"fontSize" : 12,
"guid" : "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
"historySize" : 9001,
"icon" : "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}.png",
"name" : "PowerShell Core",
"padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
"snapOnInput" : true,
"startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",
"useAcrylic" : true,
"backgroundImage": "C:/Users/thoma/OneDrive/Pictures/Me/Thomas Maurer Logos 2016/WindowsTerminal/Black Cloud Robot.png",
"tabTitle": "PowerShell Core "
},
With the “backgroundImage” value, you can set a specific image as the background.
"backgroundImage": "C:/Users/thoma/OneDrive/Pictures/Me/Thomas Maurer Logos 2016/WindowsTerminal/Black Cloud Robot.png"
Opacity
You can use the “backgroundImageOpacity” to set the opacity of the for the background image, and this is super helpful when you have a full background image.
Windows Terminal Background Image Opacity
You can add the following value to configure the opacity.
"backgroundImageOpacity" : 0.2
Acrylic effect
You can also configure the Windows Terminal to use the Acrylic effect in Windows 10 for the background. This will combine the acrylic effect with the background image.
Windows Terminal Background Acrylic Opacity
Just set the following value to the settings.
"useAcrylic" : true, "acrylicOpacity" : 0.5
Here is a full config you can have a look at, with all the settings enabled.
Profile
Let me know if that helps you to set, change, and customize the background image of the Windows Terminal. You can find more tips on how to customize the Windows Terminal on my blog and you can read more about the new Windows Terminal on the official blog. And if you want to know more about how you can run Azure Cloud Shell in the terminal, check out my blog post. If you have questions, let me know in the comments.

Microsoft has put in a great deal of effort in building the Windows Terminal. It supports theming and customizations in a way that any terminal geek would love. All the theming customizations for Windows Terminal goes into the settings.json file.
You can theme a Windows Terminal into Dark Mode, Light Mode, Colorful stripes, and apply even custom background images to one shell or all shells in the Terminal.
Below is a roundup of 50+ Windows Terminal Themes created by several individual users over at Github, Reddit, and other similar places where the cool nerds hangout. To use these themes, all you need to do is copy the theme code and paste it in the schemes section of the Terminal’s settings.json file.

Windows Terminal is a modern terminal application for developers who frequently uses command-line tools such as Powershell. In this article, I’ll show you how to customize the hell out of Windows Terminal and Powershell so that you can flex on your friends and colleagues 😎.
Here’s our final result 👇
Before we begin, please download Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store.

- Oh My Posh
- Winfetch
Windows Terminal Settings
You can open settings via the Ctrl+, shortcut or the dropdown menu:
Color Scheme
My color scheme is a slightly modified version of Sonokai Shusia. To install the color scheme:
- Open Settings in Windows Terminal and press the “Open JSON file” button at the bottom left corner. It will open
settings.jsonin Notepad. -
In
settings.json, scroll down to find the"schemes"field, which accepts an array of color scheme objects. Next, paste in my color scheme object before the first object in the array (note that object order does not matter).{ ... "schemes": [ { "name": "Sonokai Shusia", "background": "#2D2A2E", "black": "#1A181A", "blue": "#1080D0", "brightBlack": "#707070", "brightBlue": "#22D5FF", "brightCyan": "#7ACCD7", "brightGreen": "#A4CD7C", "brightPurple": "#AB9DF2", "brightRed": "#F882A5", "brightWhite": "#E3E1E4", "brightYellow": "#E5D37E", "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF", "cyan": "#3AA5D0", "foreground": "#E3E1E4", "green": "#7FCD2B", "purple": "#7C63F2", "red": "#F82F66", "selectionBackground": "#FFFFFF", "white": "#E3E1E4", "yellow": "#E5DE2D" }, ... ] } -
Save your changes and head back to Windows Terminal. Go to Settings → «Windows Powershell» profile → «Appearance» tab → «Color Scheme», and choose the new color scheme. Then, press «Save».
If you don’t like my custom theme, check out Windows Terminal Themes website. There are 200+ themes to choose from and you get a quick preview of each theme 🌈.
Nerd Font
Nerd Fonts refer to programming fonts that are patched with a high number of glyphs (icons). Using a nerd font in Windows Terminal is essential because normal monospace fonts cannot render icons properly:
It’s likely that the programming font you’re using (eg. Cascadia Code, Fira Code) already has a Nerd Font version. Check out this link to see the full list of patched Nerd Fonts that you can install.
In my setup, I use Fira Code Nerd Font. The link will download a ZIP file that contains many TrueType font files. It’s OK to only install the files where the name looks something like Fira Code XXXXX Nerd Font Complete Windows Compatible.
After installing Nerd Font:
- Restart your Windows Terminal by closing and re-opening it.
- Go to Settings → “Windows Powershell” profile → “Appearance” tab → “Font face”, and choose your newly installed Nerd Font:
Now, your Terminal should look a bit more pleasing to the eyes:
Oh My Posh
Oh My Posh is a prompt theme engine that lets you beautify the prompt string. This engine requires your Terminal to use a Nerd Font so make sure that you followed along the previous steps.
Setup
-
Install “App Installer” from Microsoft Store to get the
wingetWindows Package Manager CLI.- ⚠ Requires Windows 10 1809 (build 17763) or later
- Check out Oh My Posh’s documentation for alternative installation options.
-
Restart your Windows Terminal and run
wingetto check if the package manager is correctly installed. -
In your Windows Terminal, run
winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -
Restart your Windows Terminal. Next, try running
oh-my-poshin Powershell to see if it’s correctly installed.
-
Run the following command to open your Powershell profile.
notepad $PROFILEIf notepad shows a prompt saying that “Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1” is not found and asks if you would like to create the file, press “Yes” to create the file.
-
Inside the file, paste in the following code and save the file. This will load Oh My Posh on start-up with the default theme.
oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/jandedobbeleer.omp.json | Invoke-Expression -
Restart your Terminal. Your Powershell should now load Oh My Posh automatically
Change Theme
Oh My Posh comes with >70 themes included out-of-the-box. Check out the “Themes” page documentation for a gallery of preinstalled themes.
All themes are located in ~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes if you used winget to install Oh My Posh. If you used an alternative installation method, visit the documentation and select your installation method to see where the themes are located.
Suppose you want to use the powerlevel10k_rainbow preinstalled theme:
-
Open Windows Terminal and run
notepad $PROFILEin Powershell just like we did previously. -
In the opened file, change the path after
--configso that it usespowerlevel10k_rainbow.omp.json:oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/powerlevel10k_rainbow.omp.json | Invoke-Expression -
Restart your Terminal:
Custom Themes
You can easily create your own theme by writing your own JSON files. Here are some useful links:
- “Configuration → General” page of the docs — Learn how to create custom themes
- Nerd Font’s cheatsheet — List of different glyphs that you can use
I created a custom theme called p10k_classic, which is inspired by a preinstalled theme called powerlevel10k_classic.
To use my theme:
-
Visit the GitHub Gist link and click the “Download ZIP” button at the top right corner.
-
Extract
p10k_classic.omp.jsoninto a location of your choice. For example, let’s place it in the root folder (~). -
Open Windows Terminal and run
notepad $PROFILEin Powershell. -
In the opened file, change the path after
--configso that it uses~/p10k_classic.omp.jsonoh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~/p10k_classic.omp.json | Invoke-Expression -
Restart your Terminal:
Winfetch
As an added bonus, we’ll install winfetch, a command-line tool that prints out system information. This is a great alternative to neofetch, which only works on Linux.
Setup
This wiki page lists several ways to install winfetch. We’re using the first recommended method: PSGallery.
-
Run Windows Terminal as administrator. To do that, search “Windows Terminal” in the Start Menu, right click the item, and press “Run as administrator”
-
In Powershell, run the command:
Install-Script -Name pwshfetch-test-1Choose “Yes” for any prompts you encountered.
-
Run
notepad $PROFILEto open Powershell profile. Add the following line of code at the end:Set-Alias winfetch pwshfetch-test-1 -
Restart your Terminal. Then, run
winfetchto see if it’s correctly installed.
The default winfetch config is saved to ~\.config\winfetch\config.ps1. Check out the “Configuration” wiki page to see all available configuration options.
Custom Image
The Windows logo at the left can be changed to a custom “image” (more like a low resolution pixel art because Windows Terminal cannot render full resolution images).
For example, I want to display my GitHub profile picture, which is a 8-bit Luigi art:
-
Save this image and place it in a location of your choice. For example, I save it at the root folder (
~) with the nameluigi.png. -
Open
~\.config\winfetch\config.ps1in Notepad. Change the first two variables to the following:# ===== WINFETCH CONFIGURATION ===== $image = "C:\Users\User\luigi.png" # ABSOLUTE path $noimage = $false⚠ I used absolute path in
$imagebecause winfetch in my PC is having trouble processing a relative path (~/luigi.png). The full path of my root folder isC:\Users\User. -
Save the file and run
winfetchin Powershell:
More Configuration
By default, winfetch only shows information about your C drive. To show all available drives, open ~\.config\winfetch\config.ps1 and uncomment the field:
# Configure which disks are shown
# $ShowDisks = @("C:", "D:")
# Show all available disks
$ShowDisks = @("*")
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
You can also display a bar chart for the memory (RAM) and disk usage:
# Configure how to show info for levels
# Default is for text only.
# 'bar' is for bar only.
# 'textbar' is for text + bar.
# 'bartext' is for bar + text.
# $cpustyle = 'bar'
$memorystyle = 'bartext'
$diskstyle = 'bartext'
# $batterystyle = 'bartext'
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Here’s our final result:
That’s all the steps you needed to beautify your Terminal 🌈. Now it’s time for you to show off in front of your friends and colleagues! 😁
