Ghostty has been a better upgrade as a Mac-based terminal emulator than using Iterm2 or the stock Mac terminal app. What is nice about Ghostty is that it uses the Kitty Graphics Protocol to raster graphics like jpeg, png and even run applications like DOOM in your terminal. To honest, my heart still goes out to Kitty Terminal as my favorite terminal emulator. The only reasons that I like the power-line tab bars, being locked in with settings format (even though ghostty’s settings are much easier to configure), and having some powerful tools like fzf piped into the terminal window buffer for powerful searching (especially with log or hard to find words).
So I will leave behind my configs so far below and maybe you might like them. I love the transparent with background blur look with the hidden titlebar. You can set separate color scheme theme on light and dark mode and I love to combo that with dark-mode to quickly switch from light and dark for a new theme feel or when I need to present my terminal on screen share. If you are interested in checking out my kitty terminal settings, check out my my kitty terminal config.
