nord VS cool-retro-term

For color values, refer here, https://github.com/nordtheme/nord

I'm more of a Nord kind of guy

It could have been a nord-like white, less blinding yet impressing anyway.

I would say the color theme and the background. All the colors are taken from this website https://www.nordtheme.com/

NORD?

Not sure how much this will help, but the project maintainer gave this answer. https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord/issues/130

Hey there! I spent the last weekend making a custom theme for Jellyfin based on Nord. If you're interested or want to help test it, I have a PR open here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/4207

I have spent hours over the pst two days trying to get it to write decent code. The first attempt was feeding it a css file for a theme for logseq. I asked it to swap the colors with colors from Nord theme. I was suprised it did it. And at fist glance it looked good. On a closer look I realized it was just replacing the color with a random color from Nord theme. Give in mind I was also feeding it documentation from Nord theme website and github repo. As well as example ports of the Nord theme for vscodium, neovim, emacs.

This is the best way to play short of hooking up your needle printer as a faux teletype terminal.

Very related: Cool-Retro-Term (CRT) - a terminal that makes it look retro ;)

Seems like a good spot to mention https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

Cool Retro Terminal is a nice accessory for when doing recording or screenshots - cause it looks cool. Can't use it as my daily driver tho.

And enough settings in there you can make it look like your favourite old one.

I'd guess most things you can get now are just regular command prompt style windows with a "retro" look (colour scheme). Oooh, you can change the text to green and maybe add a scan line effect. I am looking for a full experience like the Secret Geometry programs! The only similar-ish one I have found is Cool Retro Term, but that is for Linux and Mac only it seems :/

not directly related, but I've been thinking about getting an old CRT monitor, launch https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term and start working

This puts me in mind of Cool Retro Term. Lots of built in schemes.

Usually packaged by your distro.

This together with cool-retro-term[1] is an absolute must on my machines for real hacker hours.

I've enjoyed using this. I don't run it for long but I do run it sometimes for the sake of nostalgia. When I do run it, I run it in full screen for the complete experience. However, to balance practicality with nostalgia, I run a tmux session with the cool-retro-term, so that once I get tired of it, I can quickly switch back to my regular terminal without losing my terminal session.

The effects are configurable. I disable the settings named Burin, Glow Line, and RGB Shift to get crisper and less distracting experience. The RGB Shift setting is disabled for most built-in profiles anyway but enabled for some profiles like Vintage and IBM Dos. The Vintage profile is quite amusing. Everything is cranked way up. The blurry text and the incessant flickering of the screen create an unsettling impression that the monitor might break down any moment.

By the way, if you didn't notice it the app is named cool-retro-term and it abbreviates to CRT. The app icon[1] is also a CRT followed by the cursor. Guess what else abbreviates to CRT? Yes, "cathode-ray tube" of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) computer monitors
