A slide with a MacOS terminal

A bit of code that I hacked together, which I think looks surprisingly good:

Credits go of course to Typst to make this possible! I just hope this code may be useful for someone at some point:

#import "@preview/polylux:0.4.0": *

#set page(paper: "presentation-16-9", margin: 0.8in)
#set text(fill: white)
#let apple_dot(color) = text(fill: color, size: 70pt)[•]

#let terminal_slide(code) = [
  #set page(background: image("images/orange-mac-background.png", width: 100%))
  #set text(size: 30pt)
  #align(center)[
    #box(
      width: 100%,
      height: 100%,
      fill: rgb(10%, 10%, 10%),
      stroke: rgb(40%, 40%, 40%),
      radius: 0.8em,
      inset: 0em,
      align(left)[
        #v(-0.6em)
        #box(
          fill: rgb(15%, 15%, 15%),
          width: 100%,
          radius: (top-left: 0.4em, top-right: 0.4em, bottom-left: 0em, bottom-right: 0em),
          stroke: rgb(40%, 40%, 40%),
          height: 1.4em,
          [#v(-0.3em)#h(0.3em)#apple_dot(red) #apple_dot(yellow) #apple_dot(green)]
        )
        #box(
          inset: 0.8em,
          [#v(-0.8em) #code]
        )
      ]
    )
  ]
]

#terminal_slide(
  ```raw
  $ cat hello.py
  print("Hello, World!")

  $ python hello 
  Hello, World!
  ```,
)

Syntax highlighting does not work well for the terminal usually, so that’s why I forced it off by setting raw.

I immediately noticed the border radius being different on the top vs. bottom corners. Is this intended? It looks rather odd in my opinion.

Well spotted. I unfortunately seem to not be allowed to update the post above. To fix it, change radius: 0.8em to radius: 0.4em.

And because everyone is now waiting for this. Here is the image with the fixed radius:

Looks great, thanks! This renders tools like carbon.now.sh (which one used back in the day) pretty much obsolete.
