Taskbar Peek (or Terminals title), show if Terminals is elevated. #13241
Comments
Another graphical idea is to color the terminal tab switch area differently for elevated process. This could allow to quicker visually perceive the difference |
To try and de-dupe some conversation here:
I think overall it looks like what you're looking for is best served by #1320, so I'm gonna close this one as a dupe of that. Thanks! /dup #1320 |

Description of the new feature/enhancement
It would be great if the Windows Peek feature could be able to let us know if Terminals is elevated. I usually have an elevated and non-elevated terminal and you cannot tell which is which from the Peek:
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I understand this is likely a "Windows" or "Taskbar" thing to do graphically, so options might be limited. Perhaps as a start, add a new option/setting under Appearance which could be something like "Prefix application title with '🛡' if Terminals is elevated."
I know that cmd and powershell might also "be involved..." since you could do this:
$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = "🛡 : My title"
Also, cmd already prefixes the title with "Administrator"... Since all the things that Terminals might host have different rules, and so do Taskbar... the suggested option might be a good "global" option?
Thanks,
Jeff
