        // This effect is a homage to the good old Compiz days. However, it is implemented      //

  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  • Windows Terminal has a neat shader thing that you can use to add things like noise and scanlines to your terminals.

    I wish all desktop windows could have shaders applied.

    I'm trying to convince myself to write one for a curved CRT look and one for phosphor persistence.

    The Windows Terminal team has a lot more fun than the others, it seems.

  • appstagram

    Sweet filters for your desktop apps.

  • A while back I made a goofy app called Appstagram that applied Instagram-like filters to the windows of your desktop applications (https://github.com/aleffert/appstagram), but Apple continually made it more difficult to inject code into every process (even after having been granted permissions by the user) and I eventually gave up.

  • wayfire

    A modular and extensible wayland compositor

  • refterm

    Reference monospace terminal renderer

  • After that post they did implement a full reference implementation:

    https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm/commits/main

    And there is movement in getting changes into the terminal itself:
