Cmder wrong colors using Windows Terminal

If you're experiencing incorrect colors when using Cmder with Windows Terminal, it may be due to a color configuration mismatch. Windows Terminal and Cmder use different color schemes and settings by default. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Verify the Windows Terminal color scheme:

   • Open Windows Terminal.
   • Click on the downward-facing arrow icon at the top of the window, next to the "+" button, and select "Settings."
   • The settings file for Windows Terminal will open in a text editor.
   • Look for the "schemes" section in the settings file and check the color scheme being used. By default, it is usually "Campbell" or "One Half Dark."

2. Configure Cmder to use the correct color scheme:

   • Open Cmder.
   • Right-click on the title bar and select "Settings."
   • In the settings window, navigate to "Features" > "Colors."
   • In the "Schemes" section, make sure the selected scheme matches the color scheme used by Windows Terminal.
   • If the scheme names match, but the colors are still incorrect, try selecting a different scheme to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Adjust individual colors (optional):

   • If the overall color scheme is correct, but specific colors appear wrong or inconsistent, you can manually adjust the individual colors in Cmder's settings.
   • In the Cmder settings window, navigate to "Features" > "Colors."
   • Expand the "Scheme Colors" section and modify the colors as desired.
   • You can experiment with different colors until you achieve the desired appearance.

Remember to save the changes in Cmder's settings after making any modifications. Additionally, if you make changes to the Windows Terminal settings, the changes should take effect immediately without needing to restart Windows Terminal.

By ensuring that both Windows Terminal and Cmder are configured to use the same color scheme, you should be able to resolve any color inconsistencies when using Cmder within Windows Terminal.
