What is a Windows Terminal theme?

To install a theme in Windows Terminal, download the theme file and follow the steps below; this page includes 112 ready-to-use palettes.

Each palette sets the background, foreground, cursor, selection, and the 16 ANSI colors used by prompts, Git, and editors. One palette is exported to six terminals, so colors stay consistent when you switch apps.

How does Windows Terminal load themes?

Open Windows Terminal → Settings → Open JSON file. Add the exported object to the schemes array. This site generates the native file from one palette instead of copying an upstream theme file or screenshot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do Windows Terminal themes go?

Open Windows Terminal → Settings → Open JSON file. Add the exported object to the schemes array.

Do I need to restart Windows Terminal after changing a theme?

Set colorScheme to the scheme name in a profile. If the colors do not change, reopen the app or start a new terminal window.

Can I use the same Windows Terminal theme in another terminal?

Yes. Each palette is stored once and exported natively for Herdr App, Ghostty, Alacritty, Kitty, iTerm2, and Windows Terminal. The 16 ANSI colors stay the same; only the file format changes.

Are these Windows Terminal themes free to use?

Yes. Site code is MIT-licensed. Each palette keeps its upstream license; the theme page lists the author, source, and license before you download it.
