Hopefully my changes will get implemented in main-line. Here is what it looks like so far (again this is live code running not a 'design mock-up')Īs the code progresses early builds will become available for my image and I will get a branch going on github. Whole implementation is in QML -> not ideal for the dynamic creation of sessions, but works Also a cool note is I can draw custom widgets internally and receive the benefit of the shaders (see the odroid message box in middle)! I have only had a couple hours to look at the code and play with it but I have a clear strategy for execution laid out.Ĭan use keyboard shortcut and mouse interaction (dvtm does now support mouse that I know of)

There is no window/layout control like dvtm but this is a good proof of concept for the Odroid terminal to come. With about 40 lines of code I added ability for multi-session terminal (without screen, or dvtm). cool-retro-term is a free and open source terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. Details for cool-retro-term License GPL-3. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight. cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. The developers have actually squelched the idea of adding 'tabbed' sessions but instead have encouraged users to use an external system. Install NextPrevious cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator. * FFmpeg CRT Transform is a purely FFmpeg based CRT effect.Work has begun on adding multi-session interaction to cool-retro-term. * CRT-Royale is a GPU based real-time CRT shader that seems to go into ridiculous detail. Things I found during my research that look useful and cool but also don't quite fit into a more traditional compositor workflow: For me quality and realism are key, convenient use in a compositor is also important.

Preferably with similar flexibility and parameters as Cathode or Cool-retro-term.Īll the plugins I found were very limited and most of them didn't even attempt to look realistic. My only pain is that they both don't fit well into my workflow.ĭoes anyone know a plugin for Blender or Natron that can produce a high quality realistic CRT effect? Nobody really ever bothered to port it to run on Windows however (and I wouldn't do it either tbh), so I swallowed my dreams of being an epic hacker and just opened up PuTTY for the umpteenth time. The effect and quality is exactly what I want. cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator I often wished I had on Windows, for no other reason than to look cool.

I toyed with both, Cathode on the Mac as well as Cool-retro-term on Linux, for video production.
