It can do bloom with its shaders, the way @ArcadeSlime@lemmy.dbzero0.com wants. I don’t know if any of the presets have quite that much bloom, though.
It can do CRT-style scanlines, as he’s looking for, and it doesn’t have doesn’t have to have the faux-CRT curvature; see the “Futuristic” preset for a preset that doesn’t have that curvature.
EDIT: There’s a settings dialog that lets one ramp up or down each of the given visual effects.
Though this seems to have multiple of those “falling” bright areas, and cool-retro-term only has one. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to be, for either the screensaver or cool-retro-term. You can get a vaguely-similar effect if you have a video camera taking footage of a CRT; I guess the proper term for this is the stroboscopic effect. Might be what they’re trying to depict.
One eye-candy thing it can’t do is animated cursor movement. Not sure how to describe this, but basically, when the cursor moves, you draw a trail behind it.
Thank you! I had no idea what “bloom” was (clearly, because I called it glow lmao).
This is at least close enough, if not perfect, especially if I can (and I expect so) change the background to the aperture logo (which can easily be found in the correct orange/brownish color online).

If I remember right, they were adjustable in its settings. But it’s been a long time since I’ve used this.
You’re right…just checked, updated my comment, and then saw yours. :-)
Huh, cool! Apparently the dev who made this thought about everything. :)

According to that, KiTTY got support for it six months ago.
EDIT: That being said, that’s not really “retro”, so might be out-of-scope for the project.

You cannot in the current mainline branch, but it looks like someone has a pull request open for the past couple months to add a background image.

Ayy alright! Here’s hoping, thanks!
