Cool Retro Term not displaying

Question

I'm trying to start up cool retro term, and am running into an issue. When I run it using "cool-retro-term" in the terminal, the new window pops up, but it's see-through, as in you can see the content in the window behind it and cool retro term isn't displaying anything. I run it in Ubuntu and get the following message:

QObject::connect: No such slot Konsole::TerminalDisplay_QML_62::close()
loadAllColorSchemes
Both point size and pixel size set. Using pixel size.

I originally installed it with sudo apt install cool-retro-term and there were no errors with that. I'm wondering if this might have something to do with Qt? Any insight and how I might remediate this would be supremely appreciated!

@guiverc Ah yes, apologies. It's on the Windows Subsystem for Linux, 20.04. — ZapRowsdower, Sep 25 '22 at 23:52
Please use EDIT and add the info to the question not as a comment. — David, Sep 26 '22 at 05:11
Also, which Windows version are you using? If Windows 10, what X server are you running? Thanks! — NotTheDr01ds, Sep 26 '22 at 14:36
@NotTheDr01ds Sorry for the delay, but I'm indeed using Windows 10, running WSL via the Windows Terminal, which I believe utilizes...Cygwin? But don't quote me on that. — ZapRowsdower, Sep 28 '22 at 15:38
@ZapRowsdower No worries. If it's WSL on Windows 10, then there's no support for GUI applications like cool-retro-term built-in. (Side-note: No, Cygwin's a totally different thing.) You'll need to use one of the solutions in How to run GUI apps with Windows Subsystem for Linux (Super User) or (the much more detailed) What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux? (here on AU). — NotTheDr01ds, Sep 28 '22 at 18:09
I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of that AU one (we get a lot of questions like this), but if you still run into an issue after trying that, let me know via comment and we'll see if we can find you a different solution. Thanks! — NotTheDr01ds, Sep 28 '22 at 18:10
