 ## Abstract
 
-Windows Terminal's settings model adheres to a cascading settings architecture. This allows a settings object to be defined incrementally across multiple layers of declarations. The value for any global setting like `copyOnSelect`, for example, is set to your settings.json value if one is defined, otherwise defaults.json, and otherwise a system set value. Profiles in particular are more complicated in that they must also take into account the values in `profiles.defaults` and dynamic profile generators.

 The theme changes just as expected, but in an app like this, this change only affects the top of the window, leaving almost all of the screen at the mercy of what the color scheme is, and it doesn't depend on the theme, which defeats any attempt to make a good use of the `system` theme feature.
