Cool terminal

I've recently used this script to set up Segoe UI font in my VoidLinux and I liked it a lot ❤️

I like fast-tool scripts and CLI/TUI. After using it, I've decided to contribute too!

Here, I'll explain the changes 🧪

Key changes

All the changes can be separated into two kinds:

• Visual
• Behavioral/Procedural

Visual changes

1. Linux boot more-like visual
2. Carriage return for line info updating
3. Status tag, such as OK, WARN and FAIL
4. Strong colors for better contrast ratio

Behavioral/Procedural changes

1. Exit when apt opers. returns a fail (targeting non apt-based distros)
2. Manage font files in a List obj (the files are static, so there's no problem)
3. Don't run as sudo within the script. (this can prompt the password - harm the terminal ui-ux)
4. Set timeout when trying to connect with an interface (the package push/pull shouldn't take more than 3 secs.)

Demo

The video above shows the script demo. Firstly, We have the old version, and then, the new one.

For some reason, the second take is taking a while to end the execution. This can be due to my computer (I'm using a virtual machine in a Windows 10 - 8GRam) or the sleep commands too (it can be removed).

sorry for bad quality
