Originally created by @GameLord2011 on GitHub (Dec 24, 2024).

Description of the new feature

I have a MS-DOS terminal lookalike and am trying to make highlights invisible, so it most accurately mirrors the MS-DOS 3.2 terminal on a crt monitor. I tried setting the highlight code to:

"#00000000"

and it says that rgbα codes are not supported for highlight colors. If anyone has a workaround, please comment it.

Proposed technical implementation details

No response

Thanks! You know, I think we should track this as a /dup of #17837.

This is not a dupe of #17837, This is asking for extended control over the highlight background color, whereas #17837 is asking for the ability to revert a change in v1.22

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/17837 is asking for the ability to revert a change in v1.22

To be transparent: We are not going to give that person what they've asked for by reverting the new selection code.

If we give that person what they ask for, it will be by allowing them to specify an alpha in their selection color so that they may do it themselves.

That's what I'm asking for @DHowett.

And that is why this bug is a duplicate of that one.

I am asking for what you would implement their thing as, not for the same thing as them.
