eDEX-UI is an open-source cross-platform terminal emulator that presents you with a Sci-Fi inspired look along with useful some features as well.

It was originally inspired from the DEX UI project. It is also worth noting that eDEX-UI is no longer maintained but it hasn’t been completely abandoned. You can learn more about the current status of the project here.

Even though eDEX-UI is more about the looks and the futuristic theme for a terminal, it could double up as a system monitoring tool for Linux in the future if the development resumes or if someone else forks it. How? Because it shows system stats in the sidebar while you work in the terminal.
