Set terminal_background only in vscode

[floh96]

Hi,
is it possible to set the terminal_background setting only if the terminal is vscode?
vscode sets the env variable TERM_PROGRAM to vscode.
Is it possible to configure this in the theme.json to only apply the terminal_background setting if the env is matching?
Thank you for your answers :)

Can do. I will add that 👍🏻

@JanDeDobbeleer thank you 👍 with the template functionality is it also possible to only apply the setting on windows? (because the bug does only affect windows, see your bug report for reference microsoft/vscode#111762).
Edit: then it would also be needed for wsl i think since this is also running on windows... so things would get complicated pretty quickly so i just enable it on all operating systems.

You can use the env vars to create complicated logic using the templating engine.

@JanDeDobbeleer it does work thank you 👍 but now my vscode updated to 1.55.0 and now the prompt looks broken see screenshot 😞 is there something i can do to prevent this?

Hmm. That's a font setting on their end. It's either looking at changing the font size or creating an issue because of regression. I know they have multiple engines, maybe they enabled a nee one by default.

@JanDeDobbeleer they changed the renderer see microsoft/vscode#120371 and microsoft/vscode#120129. I will test tomorrow if I can use the old one.
Edit: it was an upstream issue in xtermjs which has been fixed in xtermjs/xterm.js#3279 and was released to vscode insiders. 🎉 so I'm waiting for a new vscode release.
