CRT Terminal Arrow & Block Caret Animated Cursor

Scanlines, but as stationery. The arrow wears that exact phosphor green you only get off an old tube, striped fine like a refresh line, held crisp by a black outline instead of a glow blur. Once per loop a band of brightness slides down the body, so your cursor flickers the way a terminal does when it is thinking. 🖥️

The pointer is the detail that gets me: a solid block caret, the rectangle a command line blinks at you while it waits for input. Pair them and every click reads like a prompt. It is for people whose dream setup is one beige box and one green screen, still typing in the dark.

Fun fact: the color is P1 phosphor, the coating behind the classic green screen monitor, picked partly because green sits right where the human eye is most sensitive, so text stayed sharp on long shifts.
