Describe the error

Upon starting WinPaletter I got an exception. Details in the log below. Clicking on "Continue" looks like bypassing the error but WinPaletter window is completely blank and doesn't load.

There is something wrong in a character in setting.json file of Windows Terminal.

Can you give me a copy of settings file of both Windows Terminal and Windows Terminal Preview?

[valsamis-d]

Sure. Here you are:
Windows_Terminal_Settings.json

Windows_Terminal_Preview_Settings.json

[Abdelrhman-AK]

Windows_Terminal_Preview_Settings.json has another structure for color scheme for profile PowerShell 7

                "colorScheme": 
                {
                    "light": "Campbell"
                },

Open it, change this into

                "colorScheme": "Campbell",

save and then reopen WinPaletter. This will solve the issue.

⚠️ This is a temporary solution till I fix this issue, and I recommend you to backup settings JSONs files to avoid undesired actions in the newly modified Windows Terminal structures in WinPaletter.

Perfect! I was able to open the new WinPaletter! Thanks @Abdelrhman-AK !

[Abdelrhman-AK]

You're welcome!
