Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/19001

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This PR is a (first) design pass on the Terminal settings UX to bring consistency and alignment with the rest of the OS and other settings surfaces.

High-level changes include:

  • Using WinUI brushes vs. UWP/OS brushes. See brushes overview in the WinUI 3 Gallery:.
  • Updating pixel values for margins, fontsizes, paddings etc. using units of 4. See the design guidelines for more info.
  • Adding rounded corners on various elements to be consistent with the Windows 11 look and feel (using the ControlCornerRadius or OverlayCornerRadius WinUI resources as much as possible).
  • Decreasing the page header titles / breadcrumb so it feels a bit less cramped.
  • Fixing a bug where the title of the page was not aligned with the content when resizing the window (note to self: should fix this in PowerToys too):
  • Ensuring the subheader texts for settings categories are inline with the rest of the OS (== decreasing the fontsize).
