My Windows Terminal Retro Theme

After reading a number of Windows Terminal posts by Thomas Maurer and seeing Windows Terminal Preview available in my Windows App Store, I finally decided to dive in again.

I was sooo excited when Microsoft first made the announcement but was disappointed when I found out I'd have to run a specific version of Windows and compile the app myself. Whaat? No way, too much work. Now, it's more widely available, so I decided to jump in and try it out. I love it and even miss Windows Terminal when I develop PowerShell on my Mac.

So here's the Theme I'm contributing, which is based off of my favorite VS Code Theme, 1984 Unbolded. I call it Retrowave.

{
    // this theme created and commented for powershell
    // based off of 1984 unbolded vs code theme
    "name" : "retrowave",
    // entire background
    "background" : "#070825",
    // default text
    "foreground" : "#46BDFF",
    //quoted values
    "cyan" : "#df81fc",
    // commands
    "brightYellow" : "#ffffff",
    // parameters
    "brightBlack" : "#FF16B0",
    // tokens like if, true, false
    "brightGreen" : "#fcee54",
    //comments
    "green" : "#929292",
    //errors
    "brightRed" : "#f85353",
    // attributes like ValueFromPipeline or ::Whatever
    "brightWhite" : "#ffffff",

    // other or unknown
    "blue" : "#46BDFF",
    "brightBlue" : "#46BDFF",
    "brightCyan" : "#ff901f",
    "brightPurple" : "#FF92DF",
    "purple" : "#FF92DF",
    "red" : "#FF16B0",
    "white" : "#FFFFFF",
    "black" : "#181A1F",
    "yellow" : "#fcee54"
}

This theme looks like this:

So pretty! 😍

You may notice that I commented out which color impacts which part of PowerShell formatting. I did this in case you'd like to recreate your own favorite VS Code theme, like Cold Snack.

Edit: Here's a pic of this theme + htop that my buddy Joe sent me!

Gorgeocity of 10.

Oh, and if you'd like to use the PowerShell avatar in the lower-right, here it is.
