However even Terminal is included in Apple’s UI redesign. Apple introduced in its State of the Platforms presentation at WWDC25 that Terminal is getting a colourful increase in macOS 26, with assist for 24-bit shade and the power to make use of Powerline fonts. And, in fact, Terminal is getting a little bit of the Liquid Glass remedy with a brand new set of themes primarily based on the brand new design theme.
Terminal already gives totally different shade profiles, and it doesn’t seem that the enhancements in macOS 26 go to the extent of third-party utilities resembling Neofetch (which is now not in improvement) which might be used to show system information in a fancier means. We’ll discover out quickly sufficient if the individuals who use Terminal will truly care, but it surely’s positively an overdue replace.
macOS 26 will arrive within the fall, however you’ll be able to strive the developer beta now or wait till July for the more-stable public beta.
