I made a site that turns your text into divergence meter nixie tubes
Try it: salierigator.github.io
Source: Salierigator/steins-gate-nixie
In the Steins;Gate Visual Works 1.5 + NiXie Font Kit artbook, the BO NX font specimen (3rd image) shows that each tube is made of 3 layers, from bottom to top:
- Silhouette: all ten digits drawn on top of each other and dimmed. In a real nixie tube the digits are stacked, so you can faintly see the unlit ones.
- Character: the lit digit, with a few construction lines that make it look like a technical drawing.
- Grid: a black mesh on top, like the metal grid in front of the digits in a real tube.
Stack them, add some glow, and that's pretty much the divergence meter (4th image). I rebuilt this for the whole font, so you can type letters and symbols too.
It's more of a text display than a real editor, but you can save it as a PNG for a wallpaper or whatever (hope it's useful lol). I also made some character themes, hope you like my taste :)
There's a working divergence meter at the top too.

😤 天天对着同一个终端界面，早就看腻了。cool-retro-term 2.6 万星，把终端做成老式 CRT：荧光余晖、屏幕弧度、扫描线、轻微闪烁都能调，还能当屏保用。 Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
