There is also the font selection and the borderless terminal which improve the aesthetics
Without that it could look like this https://i.imgur.com/TVwkQI0.png
But I agree, the author did really good job in creating a clean an visually pleasing UI only using text and standard symbols
I always find myself wanting just a little more terminal text style control. Usually I’m left wishing I had either an alternative font mode or double sized text. (Double specifically to avoid breaking the X*Y text cell grid)
But little wishes for extra expressiveness aside, i really don’t think terminal UIs would benefit from anything like CSS. The terminal functions as my working environment. I rely on being able to visually pattern scan for errors, warnings, typical command output, time stamp and log alignment etc. I do not want anything messing with how I set all this up.
I've avoided looking too deeply into cursive in the past because I naively assumed it would be difficult to make it look like like anything other than a late-90s BIOS, but this is exciting.
This looks like a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" thing. Yes, it's not a lot of manual work, but I wouldn't be able to do it at all because I don't have a sense for design.
