Chrominal

Open new terminals instantly from the editor title bar — each one with a unique random color and icon.

Features

Two buttons are always visible in the editor title bar:

• Terminal (Panel) — opens a new terminal in the bottom panel
• Terminal (Editor Tab) — opens a new terminal as a full editor tab

Every terminal gets a distinct color and icon automatically picked to avoid duplicates with already open terminals. Colors are chosen from a curated palette of 6 vivid ANSI colors (red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan) — white and black are excluded for better visibility.

Usage

Click the terminal icons in the top-right area of the editor:

No configuration needed — works out of the box.

Requirements

VS Code 1.60.0 or higher.
