Color Schemes.............

[pb5050]

i imported a massive amount of color schemes from colortool and or other palces and the settings file becomes massively long.

is there a way we could make "color schemes" a separate file?

im not to familiar with coding is there a way i could create a json file with array for color schemes and somehow reference it in the settings file so its not so cluttered"?

A clever way to work around this would be to pretend that they're a "fragment extension". The docs are much more elaborate here. But you could do something like:

1. Make a folder in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\Fragments. For this example, we'll use TestFragment as our directory name.
2. in that TestFragment, make a new .json file. It can be named anything (as long as it's extension is .json). We'll call it schemes.json.
3. In schemes.json, add all your schemes. For example:

{
"schemes": [
  {
    "name": "Banana Blueberry",
    "black": "#17141f",
    "red": "#ff6b7f",
    "green": "#00bd9c",
    "yellow": "#e6c62f",
    "blue": "#22e8df",
    "purple": "#dc396a",
    "cyan": "#56b6c2",
    "white": "#f1f1f1",
    "brightBlack": "#495162",
    "brightRed": "#fe9ea1",
    "brightGreen": "#98c379",
    "brightYellow": "#f9e46b",
    "brightBlue": "#91fff4",
    "brightPurple": "#da70d6",
    "brightCyan": "#bcf3ff",
    "brightWhite": "#ffffff",
    "background": "#191323",
    "foreground": "#cccccc",
    "cursorColor": "#e07d13",
    "selectionBackground": "#220525"
  }

]
}

Restart the Terminal, and you'll see that all the schemes from that file are available in the Terminal, without needing to be in the settings.json file itself.

i was trying to do this again but i have No "Fragments" directory

the only thing i could find was
C:\Users\Janss\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
that had all my settings backup json files and the main settings . json file......

hmm i have it installed from the app store. but i did a search for folders names "Fragments" and found nothing.

That makes sense, we don't make one by default. Hence why I asked in the first step to create the Fragments/ directory 😄
