Could you share your settings.json file/?

Looks like your Ubuntu profile has anti-aliasing disabled.

settings.json

Description:

Shift + Right Click on File explorer, select the "Open Linux Shell here" (things behind it is just wsl.exe --cd "%V", u can check it in regedit) , and it will open a shell with default theme.

This was annoying. But I have migrated all my stuff (projects, compilers, i.e.) into Linux filesystem , so I don't need to open Linux shell in windows file explorer anymore. It 's fine for me now.
