README
Mypixels
========
Mypixels is a very simple terminal emulator written in python using python gtk bindings and python vte bindings.
Main design principles:
* screen space effectivity (no menus/status lines that can't be hidden or take up too much space).
* ease of use
* all keyboard control (the second this readme is written, even tabs can't be switched using mouse).
Some cool features:
* Term tab colorization - mark your terms with a certain colour so it can be easily found
* entanglement of terms - write in numerous terms at once
* all-keyboard operation
Installation
============
You will need python2. Also install python bindings for gtk, vte and pango. Install python-yaml. That should be it.
