I have Git Bash running in my Windows Terminal, but I have trouble setting the background image, which is only visible in the right strip of the terminal window (it's cropped, not squished):
At first, I thought Git Bash is outputting a black background that gets drawn over the image, but the gray background you see is set from Windows Terminal's settings and can be changed there to any color; so it chooses to draw the background color instead of the image?
- I have tried deleting the color option altogether, but then the background is just black, except for the right strip of the image.
- The image works correctly in PowerShell, with other images having the same effect - only the right strip is visible in Git Bash. I have tried different strech and position settings, but always only the right strip is visible.
How do I get Windows Terminal to render the image properly?
