Description of the new feature/enhancement

Although we have that smallish icon on the top left to remind us that we're running at Admin (Win-X Terminal Admin). It would be nice if we had the capability of having a different background, font, etc. to have a larger reminder that we're in Admin mode.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Doesn't have to be in the UI immediately, but I am thinking so that there's not too much duplication we'd have something like

        "list": 
        [
            {
                "backgroundImage": "C:\\Users\\trajano\\Desktop\\terminal-3.jpg",
                "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.51000000000000001,
                "commandline": "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/bash.exe -i -l",
                "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000001}",
                "icon": "C:\\Users\\trajano\\OneDrive\\Icons\\shebang.png",
                "name": "Bash",
                "startingDirectory": "%UserProfile%",
                "tabTitle": "..."
                "administratorOverride: {
                  "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000001}", // <-- THIS IS NOT ALLOWED

                  // this is an example of a change
                 "backgroundImage": "C:\\Users\\trajano\\Desktop\\terminal-admin.jpg",
                  "name": "Bash In ADMIN BE VERY CAREFUL",

                 // the rest are not needed if they're the same.  However I don't see a technical reason why 
                 // you won't allow changes to even the command line etc even though it will be silly for the user               
                  "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.51000000000000001,
                  "commandline": "C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/bash.exe -i -l",
                  "icon": "C:\\Users\\trajano\\OneDrive\\Icons\\shebang.png",
                  "startingDirectory": "%UserProfile%",
             }
            },
