Blurry Terminal in VS Code

Why is the text in terminal blurry?

I have been using Visual Studio Code for a few months, but for some reason, it just became blurry. The only thing I really changed was the theme. I set it to default but it is still blurry. Why is this occurring?

GO to the File -> Preferences -> Settings

Top of Search- Gpu Acceleration

change that value in to off and save. enter image description here

I had to change the gpuAcceleration setting for the integrated terminal from the default auto to either off or canvas.

In the settings.json that is achieved with:

{
    "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "canvas",
}

If you have tried any transparent background extensions in VS Code like Vibrancy Continued or Transparent, these extensions can force you to install other stuff that does these background animations.

I tried setting

"terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": 'off'

to solve the issue (because everyone in the internet tells this is the solution), yet I found a more decent solution.

Just open your settings.json file and by hand, comment some lines that you are suspicious about giving a blurry terminal. I fixed my blurry terminal with this approach.

Try changing editor font size and window zoom level:

{
  "window.zoomLevel": -1,
  "editor.fontSize": 14,
  "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 12,
}
