Seamless FluentTerminal Integration

FluentTerminal

FluentTerminal is a terminal emulator based on UWP – i.e. Universal Windows Platform – and built with web-technologies, that can be used as an alternative to ConEmu.

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.

FluentTerminal uses xterm.js and is GPU-accelerated.

To run Cmder under FluentTerminal, follow these steps:

1. Download and install the latest release of FluentTerminal: instructions
