tilda VS cool-retro-term

Tilda is a drop down terminal for Linux. It has a similar interface to GNOME Terminal, but Catppuccin doesn't yet support it. Besides setting the foreground/background colors, what should I do to create the palette?

Tilda a Gtk based drop down terminal highly configurable, ideal for Xfce ! https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda

I used to use Guake for a long time, then when I was looking for an alternative with less dependencies, I found Tilda (https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda), which is very similar.

Tilda is the only one I know for Linux, but I have never heard of any for windows. I mean, in general there are not really that many terminals for windows - if you are talking about Microsoft Windows?

Yeah I'm still using Xorg, and will probably stick with Xorg until I find a Wayland-compatible dropdown terminal I like as much as Tilda.

I haven't seen anyone mention it, but a fantastic terminal i recommend you guys should give a try is Tilda. It's a drop down terminal and is so much fun to use if you spend a lot of time in the terminal.

There are many terminal emulators, for throughput, predictable behavior with modern features, quake style, theming, tabs, and much more. Most of the features you need are supported by urxvt, and if it's not, there's sure to be another non-electron terminal emulator that has exactly what you need.

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
