Steps to reproduce

We have a batch based console app. Trying to use ColorTool to set a custom scheme for use when our batch runs. When Windows Console host is set as the default console, ColorTool can read and display the colors we've set in the .ini just fine. When default console is set to Terminal, it's ignored and not used.

Expected Behavior

Specified .ini is used for Terminal

Actual Behavior

Specified .ini is not used for Terminal

This is due to #2985.

You need to run colortool.exe with either the --xterm or -x parameter. This works on Windows 10 build 17048 and later for both the old console window and the new Windows Terminal.
