How to add the Nord color scheme to the new Microsoft terminal app
Microsoft released the preview of their new terminal application which looks promising and for some people it might be a replacement for third party termimal emulators. But it looks a little bit old faschioned to say it polite. Personally I’m a big fan of the Nord theme. So I added it to the terminal application and this how to it.
- Open the
profiles.json
by selecting it in the menu or pressingCTRL+,
- Add this to the
schemes
entry of the json:
{
"background" : "#3B4252",
"black" : "#3B4252",
"blue" : "#81A1C1",
"brightBlack" : "#4C566A",
"brightBlue" : "#81A1C1",
"brightCyan" : "#8FBCBB",
"brightGreen" : "#A3BE8C",
"brightPurple" : "#B48EAD",
"brightRed" : "#BF616A",
"brightWhite" : "#ECEFF4",
"brightYellow" : "#EBCB8B",
"cyan" : "#B48EAD",
"foreground" : "#D8DEE9",
"green" : "#A3BE8C",
"name" : "Nord",
"purple" : "#B48EAD",
"red" : "#BF616A",
"white" : "#E5E9F0",
"yellow" : "#EBCB8B"
}
This are the values I copied and pasted from the hyper-nord package.
- In the
profiles
section you can assign acolorScheme
to a profile. So in my case: `“colorScheme”: “Nord”
You can find my configuration this gist
