Fluent Terminal is a terminal emulator built with UWP โ i.e. Universal Windows Platform โ and xterm.js. It is GPU-accelerated and uses web-technologies.
A neat feature of UWP apps in general, is that they can leverage the acrylic effect of Microsoft's fluent design, which can produce awesome blurred-behind visuals.
Fluent Terminal can be used as an alternative to ConEmu in order to launch Cmder.
Here's a demo of the acrylic terminal effect:The instructions to install Cmder on Fluent Terminal is simple and pretty easy to follow.
