First off LOVE what you guys have done. This is much better then putty and having 4 powershell console window all at once.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I could not find anything on the net. I tried to modify the profile.json as well.

Is there a way when I initially run the terminal to have it open 1 tab with 4 equal panels within it? I am happy if all four panel default is PowerShell.

Some version of this is possible with some version of the WT commandline arguments; see our docs on using commandline arguments for more info!

The other version of being able to set this up in your settings is tracked by #756

The color in your documentation is based on the profile. My suggestion was if I had 4 panel of the same profile to have different color.

I'm sorry, could you elaborate? I'm pretty sure color isn't mentioned in the original post in this thread at all...

Sorry I might have put this in the wrong issue #. I know I created couple of issues. I am not able to find the other ones.

Lets say the console is PowerShell. Right now you guys have color configuration based on console.
The color suggestion was if I had 4 panel on 1 tab of the same console. Can each panel have different color. For me each panel could represent different development environment and/or same environment different servers (API, Website, Database).
The color could be base on a word in the host name or something.

(If you like I can create a new ticket about the colors).
