You of course, can use any holiday themed image you want.<\/p>\n<h2>Configure Settings<\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to edit your Windows Terminal settings which should open up VS Code, if you have it installed. You can either edit an existing profile or create a new one. If you decide to make a copy\u00a0 be sure to create a new guid (use the New-Guid cmdlet). I decided to edit my CMD.exe profile.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"lang:ps mark:0 decode:true\">{\n    \"acrylicOpacity\": 1.0,\n    \"backgroundImage\": \"D:\\\\temp\\\\snover-head.png\",\n    \"backgroundImageOpacity\": 0.5,\n    \"backgroundImageStretchMode\": \"uniform\",\n    \"closeOnExit\": true,\n    \"colorScheme\": \"Halloween\",\n    \"commandline\": \"cmd.exe\",\n    \"cursorColor\": \"#000000\",\n    \"cursorShape\": \"underscore\",\n    \"fontFace\": \"chiller\",\n    \"fontSize\": 28,\n    \"guid\": \"{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}\",\n    \"historySize\": 9001,\n    \"icon\": \"ms-appx:\/\/\/ProfileIcons\/{0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}.png\",\n    \"name\": \"CMD\",\n    \"padding\": \"0, 0, 0, 0\",\n    \"snapOnInput\": true,\n    \"startingDirectory\": \"%USERPROFILE%\",\n    \"useAcrylic\": true\n},\n<\/pre>\n<p>Don't forget to change the path to your graphic.
