It might need a bit more love, im in no way an artist.. Just mash buttons and
output good :P. 

Will check F1-F5 in SyncTERM. Not sure what these buttons do. Tried in
Netrunner and nothing happened.

Ohh noice, I think I know what is happening here. There is a animated ANSI
scrollbar from 1998 which (might) not work in SyncTERM.

I actually had it on more screens. But it feels slow if it happens
everywhere. Like into files and out of files. I think only exiting files is
good enough.

 Mc> I also really like the screensaver. Having your title stay above the

Yeah on mystic A48 the timer will reset on any activity. Bringing it more
like a real AFK scrsaver. Maybe it needs a few seconds more ^^.

 Mc> Overall, I really like the look you're going for! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man, means a lot-- been working on this all week.

oP!
