Rainbow Frame

[zadjii-msft]

Posted here so that we don't totally forget about this.

dev/migrie/fhl/rgb-rainbow-window-frame. I've got it hooked up to moving the window, obviously, that's contrived, so a 1/60th second timer somewhere would work well enough.

I dunno what exactly this is, but we need it in the Terminal. Probably a special case of window.frameColor in #3327?

Ah, the rainbow frame setting isn't a global, it's a theme setting. You need to make a new theme, and enable it for the theme.

Try adding the following to the globals:

{
    // "profiles": { ... }
    // "schemes": [ ... ] 
    // "defaultProfile": ...
    // etc
    // etc

    "theme": "rainbow",
    "themes":
    [
        {
            "name": "rainbow",
            "window": 
            {
                "experimental.rainbowFrame": true,
            },
            "tab": {
                "background": "terminalBackground",
                "unfocusedBackground": "#00000000"
            },
        },
    ]
}
