Today, there is an awesome open source project that implements a customizable terminal component (as a desktop application) that can replace the default terminal of your computer like the CMD or PowerShell. Only Powershell is acceptable, however it is not customizable. Tired of using the default terminal on your favorite operative system? The command prompt of Windows can be very boring.
