It is slow to load when you install custom themes. When you try to open a tab/new tab it takes a long time. #11725

@hirwablessing - I guess the team will need more details, as I am using custom themes and the terminal works quite as usual. Can you please provide some more details, like:

  • The version of the terminal
  • The theme that you are using.
  • With what profile.
  • How slow it is (approximately in second, compared to the same profile without a theme)?

Sometimes it works well and other times it works slowly. When it slows down it takes about 5 seconds to open a new tab while in it's normal state it only takes 1 second.

Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0
Theme: Paradox
colorScheme: One half dark
fontFace: Cascadia Mono PL,
Profile: powershell.exe

Do note that CPU is a valuable resource. If there are some CPU-consuming tasks running in the background, it could reasonably lead to slow startup time in the terminal.

Does this happen for all profiles, or just the powershell profile?

Only powershell.

That sure sounds like it's a powershell problem then, right? PowerShell is known to have a fairly long startup. Do you have any other powershell config in your powershell profile (Profile.ps1)?

You might want to try starting powershell with -noprofile or -nologo, those can help speed up the launch of powershell.

Okay sure, I'll try that one. And thanks for all the help.
