#cool-old-term

##Description cool-old-term is a terminal emulator which tries to mimic the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

It now uses the konsole engine which is powerful and mature.

This terminal emulator requires Qt 5.2 or higher to run.
