Terminal: Start Menu tile color should be customized

Created on 5 Sep 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: microsoft/terminal

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Windows Terminal's Start Menu tile uses whichever color the OS theme is using. Maybe it can have a nice custom color?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Perhaps a Campbell Blue, or a more universal Sysadmin Black?

Hey I'm gonna go out on a limb - with the changes to the Start Menu in recent insider's builds, maybe we shouldn't bother with this?

IF an option to change the Tile colour is added, there should be a way to keep it Transparent.

The tile colour setting would have to be per-app, and not linked to profiles.

Please note that I'm not suggesting a "customizable" tile, but one which does not use the OS theme color ("customized" by the Terminal developers).

That is what I read into your request, I just like to be able to use my Accent Colour for the tiles, and would not want it to change, without the ability to "undo" that change. 馃槂

For the record, I believe you may have stumbled into a holy war.

I'm not saying this as a designer or as someone with any UX expertise, but I'm not sure there is a consistent pattern here, either having a color or not. @cinnamon-msft might be able to hook us up with someone who _does_ know.

Agreed.
