I Moved to Windows and Missed My Mac Terminal — So I Built beautiful-wmux

#showdev #opensource #webdev #discuss

I recently moved from Mac to Windows.

On Mac, I used cmux and loved how good the terminal felt. On Windows, I wanted that same vibe: colorful, clean, and ready to work. I hate that ugly looking window command prompt/powershell look. That's why I built beautiful-wmux — a one-script setup that installs wmux and makes it look great.

What you get

  • wmux installed
  • Catppuccin theme
  • CaskaydiaCove NF font (no tofu boxes)
  • Oh My Posh prompt
  • Terminal-Icons + colorful PowerShell

Quick start 

git clone https://github.com/vatana7/beautiful-wmux.git
cd beautiful-wmux
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass
.\setup.ps1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why I made it

I did not want 10 manual steps every time I set up a Windows machine. I wanted one command, then a terminal that feels as good as my old Mac setup.

If you also jumped from Mac → Windows and miss a pretty terminal, try it and tell me what to improve.
