Vintage computer looks for Windows Terminal: Apple //e, IBM PS/2 VGA and IBM 3270, with their period fonts and colors. After Install-Module, run Install-Degauss to install the fonts (for your user, no admin) and add the looks to Windows Terminal, then restart Terminal. Switch a tab's look with "look apple" and recolor it with "color amber" or DOS codes like "color 0A"

Release Notes

- Renamed from RetroLooks to Degauss. The module is now Degauss, and its commands are
 Set-DegaussLook (look), Set-DegaussColor (color), Get-DegaussLook, Install-Degauss and
 Uninstall-Degauss. The Windows Terminal profile is called Degauss, and the fonts are installed as
 Degauss-*.ttf.
- degauss (Invoke-Degauss), like the button on a CRT monitor: the relay's *thunk* and the coil's
 hum (recorded from a real CRT), and a second of wobbling, swirling colors: in Windows Terminal the
 picture itself wobbles, redrawn on the alternate screen so nothing on screen changes. Like the real
 thing, it also fixes the colors: the tab is back to its own colors afterwards, including ones Windows
 Terminal threw away. -Quiet skips the sound.
- On the PowerShell Gallery: Install-Module Degauss, then Install-Degauss. Degauss tabs run
 PowerShell 7 when it has the module, and otherwise Windows PowerShell, so a module installed from Windows
 PowerShell works even when PowerShell 7 is installed too.
