The standard background doesn't always scale properly, you can use the P64_bg.svg to create a new background that will have a 75px border and fit your screenresolution by followin these steps:
1. Edit SVG
Open the SVG in any text-editor and edit the width and height on the first in the viewBox & third line in the width and height attributes
It should be your screen width and your screen height minus taskbar (40px) and window header (36px)
If you don't use the taskbar or have it on the side of your screen adjust the height and width in the SVG accordingly
2. Convert the SVG to PNG
Open the SVG in an SVG capable photo-editor and save as P64_bg.png.
I use photopea.com for this, online, easy & free!
- Drag SVG onto center area or use
File > Open... - Select
File > Export as > PNG - Click
Save - If necessary rename the PNG-file to P64_bg.png
3. Replace the background Replace the current background with this newly created one by overwriting the current one in the location you have stored WT64 4. Done! Restart Windows Terminal and see the new background in action
