Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8403

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Introduces the following UI controls to the ColorSchemes page:

  • "Add new" button
    • next to dropdown selector
    • adds a new color scheme named ("Color Scheme #" where # is the number of color schemes you have)
  • "Rename" Button
    • next to the selector
    • replaces the ComboBox with a TextBox and the accept/cancel buttons appear
  • "Delete" button
    • bottom of the page
    • opens flyout, when confirmed, deletes the current color scheme and selects another one

This also adds a Delete button to the Profiles page. The Hide checkbox was moved above the Delete button.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Color Schemes:

  • Deleting a color scheme selects another one from the list available
  • Rename replaces the combobox with a textbox to allow editing
  • The Add New button creates a new color scheme named "Color Scheme X" where X is the number of schemes defined
  • In-box color schemes cannot be deleted

Profile:

  • Deleting a profile selects another one from the list available
  • the rename button does not exist (yet), because it needs a modification to the NavigationView's Header Template
  • The delete button is disabled for in-box profiles (CMD and Windows Powershell) and dynamic profiles

Validation Steps Performed

Color Schemes - Add New
✅ Creates a new color scheme named "Color Scheme X" (X being the number of color schemes)
✅ The new color scheme can be renamed/deleted/modified

Color Schemes - Rename
✅ You cannot rename an in-box color scheme
✅ The rename button has a tooltip
✅ Clicking the rename button replaces the combobox with a textbox
✅ Accept --> changes name
✅ Cancel --> does not change the name
✅ accepting/cancelling the rename operation updates the combo box appropriately

Color Schemes - Delete
✅ Clicking delete produces a flyout to confirm deletion
✅ Deleting a color scheme removes it from the list and select the one under it
✅ Deleting the last color scheme selects the last available color scheme after it's deleted
✅ In-box color schemes have the delete button disabled, and a disclaimer appears next to it

Profile- Delete
✅ Base layer presents a disclaimer at the top, and hides the delete button
✅ Dynamic and in-box profiles disable the delete button and show the appropriate disclaimer next to the disabled button
✅ Clicking delete produces a flyout to confirm deletion
✅ Regular profiles have a delete button that is styled appropriately
✅ Clicking the delete profile button opens a content dialog. Confirmation deletes the profile and navigates to the profile indexed under it (deleting the last one redirects to the last one)
