Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.11.1121.0

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

Have a customized profiles.json file and upgrade to newest release which uses settings.json

Expected behavior

No change whatsoever

Actual behavior

None of my customized colorschemes seemed to work and they all reverted to their default values.

Fix for me

It would seem that settings.json is case-sensitive and requires the keyword to be written colorScheme, while I had previously used colorscheme.
