i think i saw something about it on uf in the past couple of months, but i can't find it. it's an editor that just shows text (i think it's supposed to be some kind of word processing software). the background looked like a slate colored, shiney window (real life glass window) and the text was a subdued neon green. (yeah, what a helpful description, eh?)
what's the name of that plain looking text app?

You saw it on Mac?

no, i thought i saw a thread about it in the community cafe here. i'm pretty sure it was for a mac.
Uh, it couldn't possibly be terminal.app, by any chance?
Hard Drive > Applications > *TextEdit* , perchance?

Is there anything like this for Linux?
EDIT: Wait... Vim would work just fine here. I'm a failure.

Doesn't Vim work on OS X?
thanks, CF.

No problem. I too remember the Café thread regarding this.
Anyway, vim (or nano ;)) in a full-screen terminal should replace this just fine. If you want a word processor, check out WordGrinder.

I find it vaguely disquieting that someone who has chosen to use a Mac would spend money on a word processor who's UI was designed to obscure the environment they chose to use.
Don't get me wrong, I understand all about wanting to eliminate distractions, and if this works for someone, then more power to them. I just find it odd, is all.

when i was a kid, i was afraid of the dark. one night, i couldn't take how messy my room had gotten, so i grabbed the bull by the tail and, facing the music, turned the light off.

i was really thinking about writeroom. pyroom doesn't have a look i'd use for a wallpaper (for sure, a superficial interest). i guess that must be the thread, though. but, my memory of it is different (too many bottles of cabernet in between, probably). thanks for the links.
edit: just tried pyroom. not for me.
