The Terminal clock face
A recording of the Terminal screensaver in motion.

Terminal

A phosphor terminal with the time on the first line and the uptime counter below it. The characters carry the slight bloom of a cathode tube, and the cursor keeps blinking whether or not anything is being typed.

Turning the uptime indicator off leaves a bare clock on an empty console.

Settings

  • Background color color
  • Second hand on / off
  • Date on / off
  • Uptime indicator on / off

The engine needs a graphics card that supports the system graphics API: Direct3D 12 on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan on Linux. In practice this means two things:

  • a physical machine with a graphics card is required, a virtual one will not do;
  • on Linux the graphics drivers have to be installed and configured.

Installing Terminal and removing it again is covered on the help page, together with what to do when the screensaver does not start.
