Recommend using Windows Terminal instead of mintty 

The [Microsoft Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) app is a vast improvement over the default Bash for Windows app that ships with WSL distros, and fixes all of the issues with text rendering. Also, the previously recommended mintty for WSL is a f**king mess (it's barely functional and the uninstall batch script is broken. I personally had to spend over an hour reading through it to manually remove all of the files and revert the registry changes it made. I'm still pissed off about it, in case you can't tell).

`tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_XXX` values.
- **I'm using Bash On Windows (WSL), colors and Powerline look are broken.**
There is currently a [bug][1681] in the new console powering Bash On Windows
preventing text attributes (bold, underscore, ...) to combine properly with
colors. The workaround is to search your `~/.tmux.conf.local` copy and
replace attributes with `'none'`.
Also, until Window's console replaces its GDI based render with a DirectWrite
one, Powerline symbols will be broken.
The alternative is to use the [Mintty terminal for WSL][wsltty].
The Bash On Windows terminal that ships with WSL distros has problems
displaying certain text attributes and powerline code points. It's highly
recommended to use the [Windows Terminal][microsoft-terminal] application
instead (also installable from the [Microsoft Store][microsoft-store]).
