Steps to reproduce

  1. Set your profiles.json file as indicated at the bottom.
  2. Open up a tab with the Windows PowerShell profile.

Expected behavior

The background color should be Dracula's black (#282A36).

Actual behavior

The background color for the Windows PowerShell profile is still the default PowerShell dark blue, even though Dracula is the active color scheme.

Workaround

My current workaround is to additionally specify the background in the profile itself. It seems to me like this is an issue of precedence--the background in the colorscheme should override any global defaults for a given shell.

profiles.json:

Originally created by @mglezer on GitHub (Sep 25, 2019). Originally assigned to: @zadjii-msft on GitHub. # Steps to reproduce 1. Set your profiles.json file as indicated at the bottom. 2. Open up a tab with the Windows PowerShell profile. # Expected behavior The background color should be Dracula's black (`#282A36`). # Actual behavior The background color for the Windows PowerShell profile is still the default PowerShell dark blue, even though Dracula is the active color scheme. # Workaround My current workaround is to additionally specify the background in the profile itself. It seems to me like this is an issue of precedence--the background in the colorscheme should override any global defaults for a given shell. profiles.json: <details> ``` { "$schema":
