Use a background image in your Windows Terminal console

If we're talking about the MS DOS console, everyone has in mind a very austere black screen with a fixed-width font. The display was monochrome, white on black. Not very sexy neither exciting, isn't it.

Fortunately, we're no longer in the 1980s and 2000s, and since then, even under Windows, we've been able to do so much more cooooool!

Let's see how to easily do things like this:

Windows Terminal

For people who like working in a console, Windows Terminal can be seen as a successor of the old DOS console; you know the black screen where you can type commands like dir or mkdir.

Windows Terminal is a multi-tab software so instead of having multiple windows, you just have multiple tabs but the most killing features for me is the possibility to have a DOS console in one tab, a Powershell one in a second tab, having one or more tabs for Linux and why not, a tab for a SSH connection.

And that feature is really comfortable! Using the same window, you can have multiple active consoles and f.i. share your Linux history between tabs. Pretty cool!
