Am wondering how can we set color template in windows terminal i followed the guide in settings.json but no success. also i think it will be good to have UI to set colors instead of editing these settings files which can lost in future updates

Environment

windows 10 PRO
version : 1903
windows terminal version : 1.0.1401 ( latest )

Steps to reproduce

  • download and install latest version of windows terminal
  • open and click down arrow on top menu and then click settings
  • settings,json file will open in note pad then scroll down to color scheme settings
  • As guided in color scheme section visit : https://aka.ms/terminal-color-schemes
  • copy color template

`{
"name" : "Campbell",
"cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
"selectionBackground": "#FFFFFF",

"background" : "#0C0C0C",
"foreground" : "#CCCCCC",

"black" : "#0C0C0C",
"blue" : "#0037DA",
"cyan" : "#3A96DD",
"green" : "#13A10E",
"purple" : "#881798",
"red" : "#C50F1F",
"white" : "#CCCCCC",
"yellow" : "#C19C00",
"brightBlack" : "#767676",
"brightBlue" : "#3B78FF",
"brightCyan" : "#61D6D6",
"brightGreen" : "#16C60C",
"brightPurple" : "#B4009E",
"brightRed" : "#E74856",
"brightWhite" : "#F2F2F2",
"brightYellow" : "#F9F1A5"

},`

  • paste it inside : "schemes": [ ],
  • save it and get back to windows terminal it will give error

`Settings could not be reloaded from file. Check for syntax errors, including trailing commas.

  • Line 87, Column 1
    Syntax error: value, object or array expected.

Temporarily using the Windows Terminal default settings.`
