If you’re using Windows for your development work like I am, you’ll want to quickly customize your Windows Terminal application to have a better color scheme combination.
Here’s a quick video on how to do it 📺

First, download ColorTool on GitHub and extract the source from the ZIP file.
In your terminal, navigate to the downloaded ColorTool source, and apply a theme from the provided schemes folder:
./ColorTool.exe -x schemes/solarized_dark.itermcolorsA neat feature of ColorTool is that it supports iTerm2 themes. iTerm2-Color-Schemes is a popular GitHub repo with 230+ color schemes for the iTerm2 terminal, but ColorTool allows you to apply them to your Windows Terminal too! Check out iterm2colorschemes.com , find the theme you want, and save the file locally.
Once the file has been saved locally, move it into the ColorTool/schemes directory, and apply it in the same way as you applied the Solarized theme. In the video, I use Dracula+ :
./ColorTool.exe -x schemes/Dracula+.itermcolors
