Apps Change Theme to Light or Dark Mode in Windows Terminal in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to change the theme to light mode, dark mode, or use system setting in the Windows Terminal app for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Windows Terminal is a modern host application for the command-line shells you already love, like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and bash (via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)). Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and the ability to create your own themes and customize text, colors, backgrounds, and shortcuts.

You can select to use a light, dark, or Windows system settings theme in the Windows Terminal app.
