Reader Alex Hwang recently wrote in about GLTerminal, a Terminal.app replacement that recreates a terminal from 20 years ago.
GLTerminal accomplishes this by:
- Allowing you to change the screen brightness
- Allowing you to “curve” the text so that the edges wrap backwards
- Allowing you to make the screen flicker
- Emulating a baud rate for painfully slow speeds
While GLTerminal doesn’t have nearly as many features as Terminal.app–it’s strangely comforting. Something about using GLTerminal makes command line work much more enjoyable.
Leopard requires a special version, but everyone else should be fine with the default download.
Also remember you can full-screen GLTerminal with Command+Enter for the full effect.
