    Is it possible to change the background of the command line?


    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to change the background of the command line or powershell to an image instead of a color. Something like this:

    I do not believe that is possible for the CLI, I could be wrong,but I think not.

    I believe it is only possible ( & I may be wrong as well), if you install the Terminal app :

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rminal/install

    It allows to set the backgrounds for either Powershell or Command Prompt using images including GIF's (at least it does on my Win 11 PC where the Terminal is installed by default).

    I believe that opacity/transparency is the most useful background.
