Steps to reproduce

  • Set a dark image as the background. I used this
  • Set this for "defaults" key in the profiles section settings.json
{
        "acrylicOpacity": 1.0,
        "backgroundImage": "path/to/the/pic",
        "backgroundImageAlignment": "center",
        "backgroundImageOpacity": 1.0,
        "backgroundImageStretchMode": "uniform",
        "colorScheme": "Custom Theme",
        "cursorShape": "filledBox",
        "experimental.retroTerminalEffect": false,
        "font": 
        {
            "face": "Cascadia Code",
            "size": 11
        },
        "hidden": false,
        "useAcrylic": true
},
  • Set the "Custom Theme" colorScheme to this
{
      "background": "#000000",
      "black": "#000000",
      "blue": "#00B0FF",
      "brightBlack": "#686868",
      "brightBlue": "#6871FF",
      "brightCyan": "#60FDFF",
      "brightGreen": "#06C02E",
      "brightPurple": "#D682EC",
      "brightRed": "#FF6E67",
      "brightWhite": "#FFFFFF",
      "brightYellow": "#E5F323",
      "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
      "cyan": "#76C1FF",
      "foreground": "#FF0000",
      "green": "#00FF9C",
      "name": "Custom Theme",
      "purple": "#D57BFF",
      "red": "#FF1044",
      "selectionBackground": "#0004F7",
      "white": "#C7C7C7",
      "yellow": "#C5C21D"
},

Actual Behavior

  • Borders are clearly visible
