Eterm

Eterm is an X Window System emulator. It is designed to provide a terminal emulator experience that mimics the behavior and appearance of the terminal emulator found on the NeXTSTEP operating system. Eterm allows users to run command-line applications within a graphical desktop environment, offering features such as customizable color schemes, fonts, and transparency effects. It was developed with an emphasis on speed and efficiency, aiming to provide a lightweight and responsive terminal solution.

The emulator is known for its extensive customization options, enabling users to tailor the terminal's look and feel to their preferences. This includes the ability to set background images, adjust opacity, and define custom keyboard shortcuts. Eterm supports various terminal emulation protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of command-line tools and shells. Its development has been driven by the desire to recreate the aesthetic and functional aspects of the NeXTSTEP terminal within modern Linux and Unix-like operating systems. While not as widely used as some other terminal emulators today, Eterm remains a notable option for users seeking a distinct visual style and a highly configurable terminal experience.
