Ubuntu on Windows 10 with Windows Terminal (preview)

Is there any way I can make the Windows 10 Ubuntu terminal app use the new Windows Terminal Preview?

Ubuntu app:

Windows Terminal Preview:

I have both installed and working, but Ubuntu uses the regular Windows Command Prompt style.

If this isn't possible, is it possible to get an improved terminal for the Windows Ubuntu app at all? For example with tabs and detailed customisation.

Thanks in advance :)

• Click on Settings.

• Choose a text editor to edit that .json file.

• Find profiles entry and add this after the CMD entry putting a comma (,) after } to separate the entries.

  { "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75, "closeOnExit" : true, "colorScheme" : "Campbell", "commandline" : "ubuntu", "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF", "cursorShape" : "bar", "fontFace" : "Consolas", "fontSize" : 10, "guid" : "{GUID}", "historySize" : 9001, "icon" : "Absolute path of icon", "name" : "Ubuntu", "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0", "snapOnInput" : true, "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%", "useAcrylic" : true
  }

• Save the file. Click on drop-down menu again to check if it has been added.

Notes:

1. To get the GUID of an app, see this question: How do I get GUID of apps installed from Microsoft Store?
2. You can download the logo in png format from anywhere of x48. I've used this icon and 48x48 size.
