Idea - Recreate demo gif in Windows Terminal with a posh theme? #245

Please feel free to ignore this, especially if the title already is impossible (not sure what compatibility this has with wt and or posh).

This seems like such a cool idea & the demo gif sucked me in - but it nearly didn't due to the basic-batch blue background and notepad co-star.

If it twere in a pretty dark WT shell (ala Spectre.Console) sort of view i'd have splurted coffee all over my bathtub. So perhaps its for the best.

Anyhoo, technically masterful - aesthetically just a bit wobbly.

Thanks!

How is this? Better? Feel free to feedback and I can adjust and then update README.md to the new demo.

It really should be blue as that is the default theme that all new Terminal.Gui apps/views will open with, so want to give a true representation of the experience.

Update: I've updated with a longer version that shows tab, table and tree views as well as alt colour scheme.

You are likely correct, and the updated demo definitely is an improvement. I think I'm just overly enamoured with spectre.console as an approach to getting people back to the command line and was excited to see another project with that goal in mind.
