Switching terminals
Switching terminals
It works across all operating systems, though it shines on Linux since it uses the default PS in Windows (for a reason, cmd might be preferable). This tool is command-line based, built on DEX-UI but powered by Electron. See some screenshots and download links for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
I understand it's designed with Electron in mind, focusing on the interface rather than practical functionality. I'm using a different Electron-based terminal emulator named HyperTerm, and the system resources remain within acceptable limits. After some time, it becomes unresponsive and starts failing after a short period.
Sure, I recall it appearing on r/unixporn. Whoever wrote it seems to be focusing on the visual impact rather than practical utility. It’s likely referring to the amount of screen real estate consumed by the interface, mainly due to extensive borders around the terminal.
DEX-UI was never intended for direct use. Based on recent updates, GitSquared developed EDEX-UI, which is quite practical. The terminal can be customized by modifying the JSON file as described. Installing git bash allows compatibility with Windows via a bash terminal.
