Dex UI is a handcrafted science-fiction-style desktop interface built with openFrameworks that runs fullscreen beneath a functioning terminal, creating the illusion of a sci-fi computer. It was designed as an experiment/art piece for Linux using X11 and BSPWM, and is no longer in active development.
Use cases
- make my linux desktop look like a sci-fi movie interface
- run a futuristic fullscreen ui under a terminal
- customize a bspwm desktop with animated overlays
- build an openframeworks fullscreen desktop animation
- create a movie-style computer interface on linux
When to choose
- you want a visually striking sci-fi desktop aesthetic on Linux and are comfortable hacking openFrameworks and BSPWM yourself
- you need reference code for layered fullscreen X11 windows with animations
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, distributable desktop environment or easy installation
- you use Wayland or a non-Linux platform
- you expect support, documentation, or included assets like fonts
