cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight. It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole). This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt 5.2 or higher. Settings such as colors, fonts, and effects can be accessed via context menu. Just grab the latest AppImage from the release page and make it executable and run it. Make sure to install the dependencies first. Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application. Also, before the building process, remember to install Xcode and agree to the licence agreement.

beautiful! but pity it seems unstable on linux mint 19.3. I wrote a shell command in the specific tab of the menu, I saved and since it opens and is crashed immediately. However before that some effects settings like for example brightness crashed. I put it in the trash and re-downloaded a new one but it didn’t change anything. Thinks for your help, a french user, Sirhill
