This also happens when following the tutorial in the docs. It can be fixed by changing fonts.

Before: (Consolas)

After: (Source Pro Code)

While this problem is not caused by Textual itself, it would be helpful to warn Windows users about this behavior in the tutorial.

Looks like you are also limited to 256 colors, which suggests you have an older version of either Windows or Windows Terminal.

If you update Windows you should find you will get the full Textual experience.

Also keep in mind that on Windows there is the "Command Prompt" (which is cmd.exe) and the newer/better "Windows Terminal" On Windows 10 (not sure about Win11), this isn't installed by default (at least for me it wasn't), I had to install from the Store. Those screen shots look like the older (but standard) command prompt. Textual works MUCH better and consistently on Windows Terminal.

So "command prompt" and "windows terminal" are actually separate apps, and Windows Terminal is better. 👍
