tstyles: preview Windows Terminal themes live from PowerShell

[Felipe Cremerius (fcreme)]

I made a small PowerShell module for switching Windows Terminal themes from the command line, and thought some people here might like it.

You run tstyles, use the arrow keys to go through the themes, and each one previews live in the tab you're in. Enter keeps it, Esc puts everything back the way it was. On Windows Terminal it changes the colors, font, opacity and the (animated) background image together, by editing settings.json. It keeps a backup, so you can always get your old settings back.

It comes with 18 themes, and you can make your own. Works in PowerShell 7 and Windows PowerShell 5.1.

Install-PSResource -Name TerminalStyles
Import-Module TerminalStyles -DisableNameChecking
tstyles

I'm also looking for contributors! There are a few good first issues to start with, new themes are welcome (there's a theme idea template in the issues), and bug reports and ideas help too. CONTRIBUTING.md has the details.

Thanks for making a terminal that's this fun to customize. Feedback welcome!
