Привет, Хабр! Начиная с момента анонса на Microsoft Build 2019 и заканчивая выпусками версий 1.0, 1.1 и 1.2, Терминал вызывает большой интерес со стороны сообщества разработчиков. Мы очень рады этому и стараемся реализовывать все больше полезных и интересных функций.
Сегодня представляем вашему вниманию 3 пути кастомизации Windows Terminal. Среди них настройки цветовых схем, настройки вкладок, настройки курсоров. Заглядывайте под кат!
Windows Terminal представляет собой новое, современное, быстрое, эффективное, мощное и производительное приложение терминала для пользователей таких программ и оболочек командной строки, как Command Prompt, PowerShell и WSL.
К его основным функциям можно отнести поддержку нескольких вкладок, панелей, символов Unicode и UTF-8, модуль отрисовки текста с ускоренным GPU, а также возможность создания собственных тем и настройки текста, цвета, фона и привязок клавиш.
Сегодня мы рассмотрим три варианта настройки Терминала в соответствии с вашими предпочтениями цвета, курсора и вкладок.
Выберите свои цвета
Windows Terminal включает следующие цветовые схемы в файл defaults.json:
- Campbell
- Campbell Powershell
- Vintage
- One Half Dark
- One Half Light
- Solarized Dark
- Solarized Light
- Tango Dark
- Tango Light
Доступ к данному файлу можно получить, удерживая клавишу Alt и нажимая кнопку «Settings».
Для наглядности ниже представлена схема Vintage:
Чтобы настроить схему внутри одного из профилей командной строки, добавьте свойство colorScheme с именем цветовой схемы в качестве значения.
“colorScheme”: “COLOR SCHEME NAME”
Каждый параметр, кроме имени, принимает значение цвета в виде строки в шестнадцатеричном формате («#rgb» или «#rrggbb»). Параметры cursorColor и selectionBackground являются необязательными.
Имя свойства: theme
Степень необходимости: Необязательный
Принимает: “system”, “dark”, “light”
Значение по умолчанию: “system”
Создайте свой курсор
Вне зависимости от того, являетесь ли вы приверженцем «старой школы» или «современной», Терминал предлагает полный набор параметров (отвечающих за форму, цвет и высоту), позволяющих создать курсор на любой вкус.
Вы предпочитаете горизонтальный или вертикальный курсор? Линию или «box»? Просто скажите Терминалу.
Этот параметр задает форму курсора для профиля. Возможны следующие курсоры: “bar” ( ┃ ), “vintage” ( ▃ ), “underscore” ( ▁ ), “filledBox” ( █ ), “emptyBox” ( ▯ ).
Имя свойства: cursorShape
Степень необходимости: Необязательный
Принимает: “bar”, “vintage”, “underscore”, “filledBox”, “emptyBox”
Значение по умолчанию: “bar”
Вы можете переопределить cursorColor, установленный в цветовой схеме, если задано значение colorScheme. Принимает значение цвета в виде строки в шестнадцатеричном формате (“#rgb” или “#rrggbb”).
cursorHeight задает процентную высоту курсора, начиная с нижнего. Это будет работать только в том случае, если для параметра cursorShape задано значение “vintage”. Принимаются целые числа от 25 до 100.
Настройте вкладки по своему вкусу
В Windows Terminal вы можете легко переименовывать и перекрашивать вкладки. Просто щелкните правой кнопкой мыши вкладку и выберите «Rename Tab», чтобы переименовать вкладку для текущего сеанса. Этот параметр изменит заголовок вкладки на текстовое поле, куда можно будет ввести свое название.
Сделайте то же самое, чтобы перекрасить вкладку. Выберите цвет в заранее определенном списке или нажмите «Custom», чтобы выбрать цвет из палитры либо задать нужный с помощью значения RGB/HSV или шестнадцатеричного значения.
Совет: используйте тот же оттенок, который используется в качестве цвета фона для получения красивого бесшовного окна!
Для получения большей информации о параметрах вкладок, рекомендуем ознакомиться с данным руководством.
Также советуем загрузить Windows Terminal Preview из Microsoft Store или со страницы выпусков на GitHub. Благодаря ему вы можете быть вовлечены в разработку Windows Terminal и использовать новейшие функции, как только они будут разработаны.

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.
Table of Contents:
- Windows Terminal Settings
- 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.json
in 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
winget
Windows 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
winget
to 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-posh
in Powershell to see if it’s correctly installed. -
Run the following command to open your Powershell profile.
notepad $PROFILE
If 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 $PROFILE
in Powershell just like we did previously. -
In the opened file, change the path after
--config
so 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.json
into a location of your choice. For example, let’s place it in the root folder (~
). -
Open Windows Terminal and run
notepad $PROFILE
in Powershell. -
In the opened file, change the path after
--config
so that it uses~/p10k_classic.omp.json
oh-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-1
Choose “Yes” for any prompts you encountered.
-
Run
notepad $PROFILE
to open Powershell profile. Add the following line of code at the end:Set-Alias winfetch pwshfetch-test-1
-
Restart your Terminal. Then, run
winfetch
to 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.ps1
in 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
$image
because 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
winfetch
in 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! 😁

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.

This page contains a total of hand-picked 53 themes for Windows Terminal. You can find many more at the terminalsplash.com website and by searching for ‘Windows Terminal theme’ on Github.
In this blog post, we will learn how to customize Windows Terminal. First, we will understand the two important settings.json and defaults.json configuration files to build a better understanding. If you are completely new to Windows Terminal, then I would highly recommend you to go through the introductory post of installing and understanding Windows Terminal. At the time of writing the current version of Windows Terminal is 1.0
“Windows Terminal is a modern terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and the ability to create your own themes and customize text, colors, backgrounds, and shortcut key bindings“. [source: Microsoft Docs]
Configuration Files
The best feature of Windows Terminal is the ability to customize it. The user can customize, its text color, cursor shape, background color, background image, opacity, icon settings, etc. The user can have multiple customized profiles and can have global settings to apply to all the available profiles as well. All these settings are stored in different JSON configuration files. Let us look into these files and have a brief overview of them.
settings.json
This file contains details about the default profiles, settings that can be applied to all available profiles, a list of available profiles, a place to declare custom color schemes and custom key bindings.
The settings.json file can be opened by using the shortcut “Ctrl + ,” or from the drop-down menu and select Settings
The content of the settings.json file is given below, please note that your file will have the details based on your machine and the details might look a bit different then what is given below.
// This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 1.0.1401.0 // It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional // settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file // and let us generate a new one for you. // To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button. // For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation { "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema", "defaultProfile": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44ba}", // You can add more global application settings here. // To learn more about global settings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-global-settings // If enabled, selections are automatically copied to your clipboard.

defaults.json
The defaults.json file as the name suggests contains all the default configuration of the terminal application. This file contains details like the launch settings, tab configurations, default color schemes, profile details, and all available default key bindings.
One thing to note is this file is an auto-generated file and changes made to this file will not work if you want to apply any changes this needs to be done in settings.json file. To open the defaults.json file, go to the Settings menu item and hold your Alt key and click Settings.
The content of the file is shown below, please note your default.json might look a bit different based on your available profiles on your machine, but most of the details will be the same.

Default Color Schemes
The windows terminal comes preloaded with 9 different color schemes, the details of the schemes can be found defaults.json.
- Campbell
- Campbell Powershell
- Vintage
- One Half Dark
- One Half Light
- Solarized Dark
- Solarized Light
- Tango Dark
- Tango Light
Applying Default Color Scheme to a Profile
In order to apply any color scheme to a selected profile, use the following JSON key-value pair: “colorScheme”: “[Name of the color profile]”. For example, if I want to apply the “Solarized Dark” scheme to my PowerShell profile. I will add the following key-value pair inside the PowerShell object inside the profile list. The changes are reflected as soon as you save the settings.json file.
"list": [ { "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bz}", "name": "Windows PowerShell", "commandline": "powershell.exe", "hidden": false, "colorScheme": "Solarized Dark" },
Creating a custom color scheme
If the user wants to create a custom color scheme, the best way to do it is to make a copy of any existing scheme from defaults.json and paste the same inside scheme array inside the settings.json file and rename it. After pasting, the user can change the hex code of any value to suit his needs and then use the scheme name in the profile of choice.
"schemes": [ { "name": "My Custom", "foreground": "#FFFFFF", "background": "#012456", "cursorColor": "#FFFF00", "black": "#0C0C0C", "red": "#C50F1F", "green": "#13A10E", "yellow": "#C19C00", "blue": "#0037DA", "purple": "#881798", "cyan": "#3A96DD", "white": "#CCCCCC", "brightBlack": "#767676", "brightRed": "#E74856", "brightGreen": "#16C60C", "brightYellow": "#F9F1A5", "brightBlue": "#3B78FF", "brightPurple": "#B4009E", "brightCyan": "#61D6D6", "brightWhite": "#F2F2F2" } ],
Using Open Source Free Themes
If you don’t want to create your own color schemes, then you can use the freely available Windows Terminal themes on GitHub [Link: https://atomcorp.github.io/themes/]. A huge list is available with the demo. You can copy the theme of your choice and paste the same inside your scheme array in the settings.json file and start using it with your respective profiles.
Here is the sample “Blue Matrix” themes from the link.
{ "name": "Blue Matrix", "black": "#101116", "red": "#ff5680", "green": "#00ff9c", "yellow": "#fffc58", "blue": "#00b0ff", "purple": "#d57bff", "cyan": "#76c1ff", "white": "#c7c7c7", "brightBlack": "#686868", "brightRed": "#ff6e67", "brightGreen": "#5ffa68", "brightYellow": "#fffc67", "brightBlue": "#6871ff", "brightPurple": "#d682ec", "brightCyan": "#60fdff", "brightWhite": "#ffffff", "background": "#101116", "foreground": "#00a2ff" }
Customizing Cursor Shape and Color
Windows Terminal also provides a way to customize the cursor shape, color, and height. The settings for cursor are applicable at the profile level. One thing to note is the cursor-height is applicable only when its shape is set to vintage.
There are a total of 5 cursor shape, they are bar, underscore, filledBox , emptyBox, and vintage. Each of them is displayed below.
Cursor Type: Bar and Color Red
{ "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44ba}", "name": "Windows PowerShell", "commandline": "powershell.exe", "hidden": false, "cursorShape": "bar", "cursorColor": "#FF0000" },
Cursor Type: FilledBox and Color Red
"cursorShape": "underscore", "cursorColor": "#FF0000"
Cursor Type: Underscore and Color Red
"cursorShape": "filledBox", "cursorColor": "#FF0000"
Cursor Type: EmptyBox and Color Red
"cursorShape": "emptyBox", "cursorColor": "#FF0000"
Cursor Type: Vintage, Color Red and Height 80
The vintage cursor type supports height parameter.
"cursorShape": "vintage", "cursorColor": "#FF0000", "cursorHeight": 70
Adding Background Image
A background image can be added at an individual profile level. A static or a GIF image can be added. To add a background image add the following JSON key-value pair at the profile level: “backgroundImage” : “image-path”.
Add a Static Background Image
{ "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44ba}", "name": "Windows PowerShell", "commandline": "powershell.exe", "hidden": false, "backgroundImage": "C:\\Windows.jpg" },
Add a GIF Background Image
To add a GIF Image, provide the path of GIF image
{ "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44ba}", "name": "Windows PowerShell", "commandline": "powershell.exe", "hidden": false, "backgroundImage": "C:\\matrix.gif" },

The Windows Terminal became generally available at the Microsoft Build 2020 virtual conference a couple of weeks ago. I already blogged about how you can customize your Windows Terminal settings and shared my settings.json file. Many people asked me about the different Windows Terminal Color Schemes I use. So I thought a blog post would be a good way of sharing my Windows Terminal Schemes.
Windows Terminal 1.0 was released on May 19, you can find more documentation here on Microsoft Docs.
I already shared a couple of blog posts on how you can customize your Windows Terminal experience:
- My Customized Windows Terminal Settings.json
- Add a PowerShell Remote Session in Windows Terminal
- Change the Windows Terminal Theme from Light to Dark
- How to Change the Windows Terminal Background Image
- How to open Windows Terminal from Command Prompt or Run
- New Microsoft Code and Terminal Font Cascadia Code
My Windows Terminal Color Schemes
Here is my Windows Terminal Color Schemes. Since I use the acrylic effect, I post a picture when the Windows Terminal window is active and one where it is inactive.
