Description

From discussion with @cinnamon-msft et. al.

  • Dark theme by default (was system)
  • tab.background: terminalBackground
  • Change the tab row colors back to what they were pre-Controlsv2
    • This point I might be mis-remembering. I think the crux was "make the colors better", and we had freedom to do whatever we wanted.
    • The current dark tabRow.background is basically the same as the default scheme BG, and maybe that's good, maybe that's bad.
  • tabRow.unfocusedBackground set to something sensible in the default themes as well.

The 🌶️ rejected ides:

  • Default to mica on
    • Rejected cause this would disable vintage opacity
    • Rejected cause our Mica story isn't fleshed out yet
    • Rejected cause dark tabs in light OS theme with Mica titlebars has pretty low contrast overall.
  • ... with a non-acrylic, transparent control, so that you'd get the mica termcontrol body.
    • see all the above.
