SUMMARY I'm a bit of a nostalgic of text terminals (the physical ones) that had remanence/afterglow on a cathode ray tube (yes I'm of the older kind of users). As an old one, I mostly use terminal emulators. I've been using a lot of them to find the right one. When KDE was still in its infancy, I was using Eterm a lot. RXVT also. Xterm of course. Eterm has evolved into Terminology. One of the rare traits that I still like in Terminology is its afterglow effect on the cursor and fonts. It triggers my nostalgia fiber :) Would it be possible to have that effect in konsole ? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open konsole 2. Look at the cursor and fonts 3. Look at Konsole configuration window OBSERVED RESULT No afterglow effect nor afterglow configuration option. EXPECTED RESULT A working afterglow option :) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.17.0-1-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-7567U CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 31.3 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Plus Graphics 650 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION N/A

We would need to rewrite the entire graphics stack for that.

I would say that, with an amber or green monocolor theme it would have been a great eye candy. Not only that, but imagine a monochrome cyan text over transparent background, it would totaly be like in SciFi films ;) Thanks again. I've been stockpiling wish lists and decided to send some of them today : I must say you have been quite responsive ! A real pleasure to have you as an interlocutor.
