You have an interesting setup for your desktop environment, care to share some of the details? I see an XFCE icon but I'm not sure if it's only XFCE being used there.
This is cool! I wanted to do something similar a while back, but decided I want out of the term, instead of trying to bring more robust UIs into my term.
My goal was to have an editor, like Vim/Kakoune, use a window manager like tmux to provide more rich GUI features, such as popups and overlays. All of that in an ideally easy to use dev UX, making scripting information plugins intuitive and easy.
As mentioned, in the end I just said I probably want a GUI proper.

If you're seriously considering using this I recommend going to a psychiatrist.
This program is so pointless, I even needed a mouse pointer to help me out find
a point.
It doesn't. Would be an interesting thing to add perhaps, but then I'd need to add some kind of daemon I believe. I also don't want to compete with the existing software as there's no winning over them.
Window Manager, basically a program that manages your windows. (This is more well-known in linux because you can swap to different window managers regardless of distribution, while in Windows and Mac you’re forced to have one canonical window manager provided by the OS)

the author makes it sound as if this is an elaborate joke of some sort,

Very cool! :)

If it has session save/restore, it can compete in the same space as screen/termux/byobu.
Signs of quality software.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now I have to go read Frankenstein, so thanks for that as well. :)

A few years back I got RHIDE working again and... Went back to emacs.
Check out dvtm for a tiling version of this. Some people pair dvtm with dtach to get just the parts of GNU screen that they care about.
Are there other versions of this idea around? Maybe older, more stable and trustworthy solutions?
I like OPs version because it just puts a one pixel border around the window and except everything is black.
