Windows Terminal With Solarized Dark Oh-my-ZSH Theme

Advertisement

This is kind of Microsoft Windows version of our 8 years old guide on iTerm2, Homebrew and ZSH Installation on OS X. Windows 10 can not be made looking as great as Mac OS X iTerm2 but getting something closer looking is visually pleasing. It will consume many hours and days to get the thing completed. For getting the total thing done, we pointing towards the guides which work.

Windows Terminal With Solarized Dark Oh-my-ZSH Theme

The first step is to install Windows Terminal. You must be running Windows 1903 or later to run Windows Terminal :

Vim
1
https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal

To install Windows Terminal and run properly, you need to enable Developer Mode in the Windows Settings app, install Windows 10 1903 SDK, install VS 2019 with the modules – Desktop Development with C++,
Universal Windows Platform Development, C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform Tools.

Next, you have to install WSL2. We have a guide on how to install WSL2.

Once you have the Windows Terminal open the WSL2 Linux tab and run :

Vim
1
2
3
sudo apt-get install zsh
sudo chsh -s $(which zsh)
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

restart the terminal for the changes to take effect. Edit ~/.zshrc and set :

Vim
1
2
3
ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX=true
sudo apt-get install git
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/powerlevel10k

Edit ~/.zshrc and set near the top of the file

Vim
1
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

You can run :

Vim
1
p10k configure

to customize the display of the shell. Install MesloLGS NF font, Powerline fonts for Windows and Solarized Dark theme for Oh-My-ZSH. These you’ll get on GitHub by some web search.

Open the Settings of Windows Terminal and edit it to make like mine. Do not copy-paste to fullest! The GUID lines like "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",should be yours one.
