eDEX-UI
(tmux running htop and systemctl status, on eDEX-UI v0.7.3 with the "red theme")
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?
