You should post a screenshot in the README to give people an idea of what the terminal looks like.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've added a screenshot to the README. Hope you like it.

To be fair: no, I dislike it. It looks completely unreadable. I still don't know why Apple thinks this is a good idea.

This is not what Liquid Glass actually looks like on first-party macOS applications. This needs way more blur and opacity to match even the control center widgets.

I've updated the glass styling since then. Would appreciate it if you could take another look. https://github.com/yuuichieguchi/Calyx

Apple isn't suggesting to adopt this for your terminal, given they haven't made the native terminal glassy.

Agree. Weird to market a terminal with a description of how it looks rather than actually how it looks.

No LLM is going to take screenshots unless you force it to. They like dem words more!

They're not an LLM, just Aspie. I've seen this misconception like three or four times recently, it's nuts.
