Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
This is a little graphic detail that I noticed long ago. The "new tab" icon in Windows Terminal (1.1.2021.0) with 100% DPI scaling level is somewhat "blurry" or "thick", in comparison of other "new tab" icons like Microsoft Edge.

This graphic detail does not occur when the DPI scaling is at 125%.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Update the "new tab" icon to a more "cleaner" version when DPI scaling is at 100%. An example:
