eDEX-UI

(click to view full-size)

eDEX-UI is a sci-fi interactive terminal interface heavily inspired from DEX-UI and the TRON Legacy movie effects, made cross-platform and easy to install with Electron.

I had no ideas for a name so i took DEX-UI and added a "e" for Electron. Deal with it.

FAQ

What OS can this thing run on?

Currently Windows and any linux distro that can run Chromium.

Is this a real terminal?

Yes. By default, eDEX runs bash on linux and Powershell on Windows, but you can change that to any command in the settings.json file.

Why is there a keyboard?

As DEX-UI's author said, it's there mostly because it looks cool, but in eDEX it's also a fully-capable tactile keyboard.

What's the difference between this and the original DEX-UI?

Seenaburns' DEX-UI was created "as an experiment or an art piece, not distributable software". My goal with eDEX is to create a similar experience, but easier to install, run, and use.

Will using this make me insanely badass?

Yes.
