- Ghostty terminal offers unique features like zooming text without resizing and displaying images inline.
- Custom GLSL fragment shaders in Ghostty allow for creative backgrounds, such as watercolor washes.
- A collection of nine watercolor shaders mimics real painting techniques, available on GitHub.
- Shaders include Flat Wash, Graded Wash, Variegated Wash, Wet-on-Wet, Glazing, Granulating, Salt, Cauliflower, and Splatter.
- Configuring a shader in Ghostty involves editing the config file and setting a WASH_HUE value.
- A script, randomize-shader.sh, enables random shader and color selection for each new terminal window.
