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:

โš  CAUTION: The command line interpreter in Windows has some issues with spaces in the path, such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Cmder. We do not recommended to install Cmder in a path that contains spaces.

The instructions outlined above should work correctly, but in case you are having a problem, please read below.

To avoid any conflicts, it is recommended to install Cmder in a path that does not contain any spaces, such as: C:\apps\Cmder or C:\tools\Cmder.

You may also have to escape the parentheses ( and ) as well as spaces. Here's an example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cmder  โ†’  "C:\\Program^ Files^ ^(x86^)\\Cmder"
