Make Windows Terminal Beatiful ~

Installation

Fonts

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:

1. Go to https://www.nerdfonts.com
2. Download font would u like, for me its JetBrainsMono
3. Unzip file, go to folder and install fonts
4. Restart your Windows Terminal by closing and re-opening it.
5. Go to Settings → “Windows Powershell” profile → “Appearance” tab → “Font face”, and choose your newly installed Nerd Font.

Enable transparent background and Color Scheme in Windows Terminal

 or get a chance to click and open it in your favorite editor, and this is where you'll make the changes. 2. Full transparency To enable the full transparency, define the following settings in your settins.json: Here's an example:

Opaque/acrylic transparency

To enable acrylic transparency, you can define the 

 boolean property, along with the 

opacity

 which is a number to specify the transparency between 0 and 100.

Color Scheme

My color scheme is a slightly modified version of XCAD. To install the color scheme:

1. Open Settings in Windows Terminal and press the “Open JSON file” button at the bottom left corner. It will open 
   settings.json
    in Notepad.
2. 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).

3. 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".

2. In Powershell, run the command:

3. Restart your Terminal. Then, run
