What type of terminal is the ubuntu terminal in WSL?

Question

I installed Ubuntu on Windows 10 through WSL and I'd like to install a theme in the terminal, but I don't know what kind of terminal it is. It just says "Ubuntu" in the top bar for the window. What should I be looking for a theme for? How can I identify this terminal?

Answer 1

For my WSL I installed VcXsrv so I could run Ubuntu Desktop which uses gnome-terminal. For themes see:

• Color Scheme for Gnome Terminal and Pantheon Terminal
• Atom's One Dark and One Light theme for GNOME Terminal
• gnome-terminal-themes
• 179 Color Schemes For Your Gtk-Based Linux Terminal (Gnome Terminal, Tilix, Xfce Terminal, More)

That said WSL Ubuntu Desktop's default Gnome terminal works really well for me except I had to remap the color blue because it was unreadable:
