Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT             10.0.19041.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.1.2233.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Try to change the colorsScheme of your different terminal profiles.

Expected behavior

colorScheme changes according to the defined color and aesthetic attributes in schemes in list

Actual behavior

No changes in colorSchemes of different profiles. And, no changes in startingDirectory attribute as well.

Here is my settings.json

What which of your profiles is having an issue? Both your Powershell Core and Windows Powershell profiles have colorScheme set explicitly to "Campbell", but none of the others look like they're setting the scheme.

Plus, only the Ubuntu profile has the startingDirectory set. What directory is that actually starting up in?

Alright so, the colorScheme is not a problem anymore, however, useAcrylic is not taking effect. None of the profiles even when it is used in defaults.

And yes, Ubuntu profile is starting up with /mnt/c/Users/Abdullah Nafees and I am trying to start it up with //wsl$/Ubuntu-20.04/home/abdullah/.

The changed settings.json is following:

@abdnafees commented on GitHub (Aug 26, 2020): Alright so, the `colorScheme` is not a problem anymore, however, `useAcrylic` is not taking effect. None of the profiles even when it is used in `defaults`. And yes, Ubuntu profile is starting up with `/mnt/c/Users/Abdullah Nafees` and I am trying to start it up with `//wsl$/Ubuntu-20.04/home/abdullah/`.

Regarding the acrylic issues, I'd take a look at #1414 and #7047

Regarding the WSL starting directory issue - if you try opening a second Ubuntu tab (once you already have one open), will that second tab have the correct starting directory? If so, this is #7197

Regarding the acrylic issue, I switched the transparency effects in the Color settings. So that has been fixed as well.

Even though the product is not perfect, it is an extremely functional piece of software, so a token of gratitude, I would like to thank the dev team working on this project and to Microsoft for finally embracing the open-source philosophy.

Thanks for saying this! We really love hearing from our community--about both good things and bad things--but the good things really pick up our spirits. 😄

About your issue! I noticed that your starting directory says Ubuntu-20.04, but your WSL profile doesn't seem to be an ubuntu 20.04 profile.

The names that work inside wsl$ are based directly off the name of the distribution that comes out of wsl.exe -l. Based on your GUID and profile title... i'm going to guess that the name is actually just Ubuntu.

Does it work if you use //wsl$/Ubuntu/home/abdullah?

No problem at all!

Yeah, good observation. I missed that completely, it works now.
