Cathode 1.2.0

Cathode is a very easy to use Mac OS X application designed to emulate your Terminal in order to give you the possibility to customize its appearance.

NOTE: To buy Cathode via the App Store an Apple account is required.

Here are some key features of "Cathode":

Fully Featured Terminal:
· A fast and stable terminal with all the mod-cons: drag and drop, scrollback, colors, key combos, international characters, and mouse support. Works with regular Mac fonts, but also includes a handful of bitmap classics.

Millions of Monitors:
· Choose from a large collection of themes spanning every era. Tweak to your heart's content with a dozen real-time sliders, including screen curvature, burn-in, interlace, and transparency. Use a webcam photo as glass reflection.

Dirty Details:
· The quirks and annoyances of old video hardware are charming today. Watch the strange dance of beam desyncs and shifting colors. Turn up the noise, jitter, and flicker to add a realistic warmth. Scan and retrace lines top it all off.

Sound and Feedback:
· Cathode's many lifelike touches will bring a smile to your face. User configurable sound effects highlight your interactions. Ray tubes bounce as windows open and shake when they're moved.

Full-Screen Experience:
· Disregard thirty years of user interface progress by immersing yourself in full-screen mode. Impress curious onlookers in the lecture hall or cafe. Transform your modern marvel into a thrift-shop rescue.

More Than Just a Terminal:
· Cathode also includes a text editor mode. Open, save, and modify plain text files using standard Mac dialogs, menus, key combos, and gestures. You can even open image files to generate ASCII art.

Requirements:

· OpenGL 2.0 or later
· Note: Older Macs with Intel GMA cards are not supported.
· 64-bit processor

Limitations:

· The picture quality will degrade over time until the app is relaunched.
