Re: Cool Retro Terminal
#2The effects are great! However, these feel like old-old terminals, as in terminals from 80s after decades of use. Good quality phosphor monitors are a lot crisper than the screenshots.

#3I get the nostalgia appeal, it would be neat for a few minutes, but it doesn't seem like something you could use as your daily driver terminal. If someone has, what's your experience with it?
Re: Cool Retro Terminal
#4Really good, but the blur/bloom seems a bit overdone. I don't remember it being that fuzzy and blurry, in the picture the blur extends half a character around each block, which is a bit excessive.

#5This is triggering memories of late-night job monitoring and tape swaps!

It's all adjustable, but the default profiles tend to ham it up a bit in my experience. For something I found usable, but nice to look at; all my settings were < 10%, and a few disabled (burnin, glow line, ambient light).

I remember trying this on macOS a while ago and I'm sure it had some odd quirks where things didn't work as expected which put me off using it, I'll have to try it again. There used to be a native macOS app called Cathode which was similar but it's been abandoned

#8Pretty cool!
The reflections on the sides are a very nice touch.

You can disable the effects individually to renew your virtual monitor.

I tried to use it daily but it just takes too much real state. I often have many terminals opened and got used to them not having borders.
