# Using terminal programs to provide Linux desktop components

Added in version 0.43.0.

Power users of terminals on Linux also often like to use bare bones window managers instead of full fledged desktop environments. This kitten helps provide parts of the desktop environment that are missing from such setups, and does so using keyboard friendly, terminal first UI components. Some of its features are:

> - Replace the typical File Open/Save dialogs used in GUI programs with the fast and keyboard centric choose-files kitten running in a semi-transparent kitty overlay.

> - Allow simple command line based management of the desktop light/dark modes.
