Step 3: Now let’s have some customization, for that I have downloaded, few gif images which I will apply as background of each terminal.

Step 4: Place the images to “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\RoamingState” then one you want to use, I am using below 4 gif images as below

Step 5: Added below section in each list item

"backgroundImage": "ms-appdata:///roaming/<Your GIF>",

"backgroundImageOpacity": 0.1,

"useAcrylic": true,

"fontFace": "Cascadia Code",

"acrylicOpacity": 0.9

Step 6: To apply above settings click on down arrow -> Settings (Ctrl +,) it will open settings.json in an editor (for me its VS 2019)  and do add code under each list item you want to customize. The result will be as below 😊
