How to Change Tab Colors in Windows Terminal
You can change tab colors in Windows Terminal to visually distinguish your command-line sessions.
Windows Terminal is a modern application that consolidates command-line tools like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL distributions into a single, tabbed interface.
Personalizing these tabs with distinct colors helps you quickly identify which environment you’re working in, especially when running multiple sessions simultaneously.
For instance, you might assign red to your administrative PowerShell tab and blue to your Ubuntu WSL tab.
