   XFCE has been my preferred Unix desktop for like 20 years. Great software. Great mix of flexibility, modularity, ease of use, and good taste. I also thank the devs.

   This looks like an interesting rabbit hole. I have heard of ReGIS graphics but am not familiar with the standard implementations or the VK100 terminal. Is it widely supported? Thanks for the heads up and interesting manual, vaxman! This mig

   I think the limitations of ansi.sys became the standard because it's the implementation that everyone had access to and could reference, not because it is the exact full set-in-stone canonical specification laid down by the ANSI standa

   I'll look into -W and -H. It's probably a bug. Thanks for letting me know. I am not sure what you mean by "doubled the default" exactly.

   Oh, for WSL... You would use something like Windows terminal, and start an Ubuntu (WSL) terminal session from there. It will act similar to a Linux VM terminal, and you can download, install and run Durdraw from there.

   There are currently 3 ways to set the canvas size. 1: Use the command line options -W and -H or --width and --height to set the numbers of columns and lines. run "durdraw --help" for more command-line options. 2: Check the help sc

   Icy Draw is a very good newschool ANSI editor, too. The developer is very skilled and he put together a great, feature rich tool in a short amount of time. I'd love to steal some of the features from it. Icy Draw joins the many GUI ANS

   I'm glad you got it working. I'll probably work on a Docker installer in the future. Normally, in Windows, the best way to run it in WSL. There is an issue with windows-curses that durdraw doesn't like, and keeps it from runn

    It doesn't. Thanks for the great question. However, I made another program a while back that plays GIFs and images in a text terminal similar to what you're describing (see https://github.com/cmang/gifterm ),

    I originally started working on Durdraw because I was trying to animate some ASCII art with Pablodraw and Photoshop, and found it incredibly tedious. I ended up making my own editor for any future animations.

    Thanks! Yes, animation was one of the earliest features. It uses its own animation engine and file format (which is a gzipped JSON file), which gives the artist fine control over the timing (unlike traditional ansimation files), by giving t

    Thanks for taking a look. There are a few uses for a program like this in 2024. 1: Some people still make ANSI and ASCII art as a means of exploring the medium.. well, artistically. Check out https://16colo.rs/ and you will
