Windows Terminal version

Windows build number

Steps to reproduce

The attached icon has all the image sizes from 16 to 256 as follows:

Image

Assign this test.ico file to a profile.

test.zip

Expected Behavior

Show different colors in the icon depending on the resolution and scaling, so it is selecting the best icon size for the screen like File Explorer does.

Actual Behavior

Windows terminal always shows an orange color, in the menu, tab or quick menu in the task bar. It means it is always choosing the 16x16 ico.

Importance

This is essential because WSL's new architecture only supports ico files as a shortcut icon. And as we can only ship the 256 one, it will make that Windows Terminal reduce the image and the results are not good.
