    "closeOnExit" : true,
    "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
    "guid": "{a3c89eef-1dbe-4ac1-acc5-2412499f8619}",
    "hidden": false,
    "name": "PowerShell 7",
    "commandline" : "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\pwsh.exe",
    "icon" : "C:\\Program Files\\PowerShell\\7\\assets\\Powershell_av_colors.ico",
    "antialiasingMode": "grayscale",
    "cursorShape" : "bar",
    "cursorColor": "#121005",
    "fontFace" : "Consolas",
    "fontSize" : 10,
    "snapOnInput" : true,
    "historySize" : 9001
}

and theme settings to:

{
    "name" : "Campbell",

    "foreground" : "#020200",
    "background" : "#ffffff",
    "selectionBackground": "#121005",

    "black" : "#0C0C0C",
    "blue" : "#0037DA",
    "brightBlack" : "#767676",
    "brightBlue" : "#3B78FF",
