What you’re looking at

Every image on this page is a real screenshot of the current DetentShell build. No mockups, no composites. The same short PowerShell script is open in each theme shot: a function, a pipeline, and its real console output after pressing Run. The editor squiggle you’ll spot is the built-in PSScriptAnalyzer pass flagging a cmdlet alias as you type.

In each capture you can see the ISE-style menu bar, the icon toolbar, the per-tab engine picker (Run in: Auto) beside the read-only compatibility badge (PS 7.5), the function navigator strip, the two-level PowerShell-session / script-tab layout, the editor, the console, and the status line.

Seven themes

DetentShell ships seven built-in themes, four of them dark. Each pins its own editor, console, and syntax colors, and an automated contrast check runs against every color pair. Sage is the out-of-box default.

DetentShell in the Sage theme: a PowerShell script open in the editor with a pale sage-green background, syntax highlighting, and real drive-report output in a deep forest-green console below. — Default **Sage**: pale sage-green editor, deep forest-green console.

DetentShell in the Dark theme: near-black editor with light-gray text, a yellow PSScriptAnalyzer squiggle under a cmdlet alias, and console output on a near-black background. — **Dark**: near-black editor and console, light-gray text.

DetentShell in the Light theme: white editor with dark syntax-highlighted text and a light-gray console showing the drive report. — **Light**: white editor, light console, dark text.

DetentShell in the Classic Console theme: white editor above a navy-blue console with white text, the familiar Windows PowerShell color combination. — **Classic Console**: white editor, white-on-navy console.

DetentShell in the Terminal Green theme: near-black editor with a phosphor-green console echoing an old terminal, showing the drive-report output. — **Terminal Green**: near-black editor, phosphor-green console.

DetentShell in the Amber Glow theme: warm dark editor with amber console text reminiscent of a CRT terminal, showing the drive report. — **Amber Glow**: warm dark editor, amber CRT-style console.

DetentShell in the High Contrast theme: black editor with white text and a yellow-on-black console with a bright yellow status bar, tuned for accessibility. — **High Contrast**: black, white, and yellow, tuned for accessibility.

Feature in focus: test generation

Put the caret in a function and choose Tools → Generate Pester Tests. DetentShell scaffolds a Pester test for that function and opens it in a new tab. The banner across the top shows a testability read and a count of the placeholders you still need to fill in, so you can see how much of the file is scaffold before you trust it.

DetentShell showing a generated Pester test tab, Get-TopProcesses.Tests.ps1, with a banner reading Powered by PesterForge, Testability: Medium, 4 placeholders to fill, and Run, Save, and Next placeholder buttons. — The generated-test banner reads **Powered by PesterForge · Testability: Medium · 4 placeholders to fill**, with Run, Save, and Next-placeholder actions. This in-editor generator is **PesterForge Editor Edition**, the free slice built into the IDE.

Still shooting

DetentShell is still in the launch build, so this gallery grows as features settle. Close-ups of the debugger stopped at a breakpoint, Quick Fix previews, and the F1 help pane will land here as each one clears the same bar: a real screenshot of the real app.
