- **Command-line visual patterns** like prompts, cursors, and status indicators
- **ASCII art integration** for headers and branding elements
### Design Principles

```css
/* Core terminal styling patterns */
.terminal {
background: var(--bg-primary);
color: var(--text-primary);
font-family: 'Monaco', 'Menlo', 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace;
border-radius: 8px;
border: 1px solid var(--border-primary);
}
.terminal-command {
- [ ] Color contrast meets accessibility standards
- [ ] Interactive elements provide proper feedback
- [ ] Mobile experience maintains terminal feel
- [ ] ASCII art displays correctly across browsers
- [ ] Command-line patterns are intuitive
## Advanced Features

@keyframes terminal-cursor {
0%, 50% { opacity: 1; }
51%, 100% { opacity: 0; }
}
.terminal-cursor::after {
content: '_';
animation: terminal-cursor 1s infinite;
}
```
### 2. Command History
- Implement up/down arrow navigation
- Store command history in localStorage
- Provide autocomplete functionality
### 3. Theme Switching
```css
[data-theme="dark"] {
--bg-primary: #0f0f0f;
--text-primary: #ffffff;
}
[data-theme="light"] {
--bg-primary: #f8f9fa;
--text-primary: #1f2937;
}
```
Focus on creating interfaces that feel authentically terminal-based while providing modern web usability. Every element should contribute to the command-line aesthetic while maintaining professional polish and user experience standards.
