Description of the new feature/enhancement

Retro terminal mode looks cool, but it also makes text really hard to see on my secondary (which is a crappy old Dell) and doesn't do much of anything on my primary (a 1080p tv, idk size in inches)
I'd like if it were more configurable, so that I could tweak it to be more/less effective.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Allow the following to be changed:

  • Width of scanlines
  • Size of the gap between two scanlines
  • How dark that gap is
  • How much glow is added to text; 0% is none, 100% is current, and 200% is 2x the current amount.

These settings should be applied on a per-monitor basis, since different monitors will need different amounts of tweaking.

Good news! The retro shader is just a specific example of custom pixel shaders for the Terminal. You can feel free to grab the source from Retro.hlsl, and modify it however you'd like!

While it is cool we can customize this ourselves, I still think a more user-friendly way to adjust the retro terminal parameters would be good. Personally, I love the retro terminal in concept but find it a little hard on the eyes... but it's not something I use enough to justify the trouble of poking at these advanced configurations.
