Description
Its pretty common to use colour to help distinguish terminal sessions - for example based on remote host logged into, whether its a root session etc. Whilst its easy to find ways to rename tabs in hyper, there is no obvious way to change background colour or theme for a particular session.
Even xterm lets me do this at startup
xterm -fg white -bg red
In konsole, I can switch to a different profile from the context menu.
- A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
A command line option that can override the theme in the global config for a specific window instance
A hook/command that can change the theme, or elements of the theme for the current tab/window instance

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how Hyper handles global themes and the lifecycle of windows and tabs, then determine where per-instance configuration could fit. Done would be a clearly defined and working way to override a session's background or theme without changing the global configuration.
