CLUSTER EMULATOR-TERMINAL-SUPPORT · 34 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-08-11
Terminal emulators and themes
This cluster comprises terminal emulators and related customization utilities, including forks (e.g., st for Regolith), desktop-specific variants (GNOME, Xfce, Windows), theme collections, and visual-effect wrappers. Dated entries span from November 2014 through July 2026, with mostly one or two per month, indicating a low but steady stream of new projects. Traction leaders are gsty, terminal, and ciliterm-bin, each with 0 stars, suggesting minimal public engagement so far.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
