Into your Windows Terminal settings.json file:
{
"profiles": {
"defaults": {
"antialiasingMode": "cleartype",
"experimental.pixelShaderPath": "X:/Path/to/Kangslap.hlsl",
"opacity": 0,
"useAcrylic": true,
"useAtlasEngine": false
}
}
}

{
"profiles": {
"defaults": {

}
}
"useAcrylicInTabRow": true
}
They're inspired by:
- @Microsoft's sample shader from: Rasterbars.hlsl and
- @Hammster's CRT shader (although falls flat of that) from: crt.hlsl.
