CURTAIN(1)
β¨ CURTAIN(1) β the curtain girlie manual β¨
okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Curtain, living in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. it's giving very demure, very mindful, very "hide ur screen during a presentation". let's get into it π
π NAME π
Curtain β shows and moves curtain on the desktop π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
curtain
no flags. no args. no notes. she just runs. periodt π
π DESCRIPTION π
so curtain is a tool that shows a movable and resizable curtain on your desktop, right there, on top of everything. it's literally a lil curtain you drag around. iconic behaviour tbh π
and the way this is actually useful?? when you're making presentations and you need to hide and unhide things on the fly β curtain said "say less", and covered it up for you. slay.
ngl, it has been implemented for educational purposes. so it's smart AND cute. main character energy fr fr π
to move and resize the curtain: use fast gestures on the curtain itself. like, grab it and yeet it where it needs to go. that's the whole vibe check π«Ά
to quit the program: click on the white cross in the top right corner. that's the exit. that's the door. that's the goodbye πͺπ
and here's the flex: Curtain is XInput-Aware β¨ which means you can use it with a graphic tablet or a whiteboard. pen girls, tablet girls, whiteboard girls β this one's for you π
no cap: gestures need to be fast. slow little taps are not the move here, bestie. π
