cool-old-term is a terminal emulator which tries to mimic the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight. It is a fork of another qt5 terminal emulator: https://github.com/jorgen/yat To build and launch it (Qt5.2 are required): git clone https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term cd cool-old-term qmake make ./cool-old-term This is still an eary release, but you are free to test it and tell me what do you think.
