Hey all! You may have heard about the new Windows terminal recently, but now it's available as a preview from within the Microsoft Store (it's free). In this video, I'm going to show you how to install it and also how to customize it through the settings .json file.

Let's get started!

You can set a background image to a gif and it seems to work pretty well. It plays and everything in the terminal lol.

Hint: in recent versions you have to click the settings while holding Alt key to access all the default settings at once.

Great terminal, Microsoft! Step by step, now it's time to add bash as your shell, without installing linux on it...
