GUI Designer for TUI

I would just redo FV on LCL principles.

.. but I think simply basing yourself on top of tcomponent is a good way to focus on the actual problem, and not redesign the whole streaming etc.

Streaming.
Is FV able to load/save the form properties on such similar to *.LFM ?
Can you show me an example of FV project that use "streaming" ?
any link?

Note that I meant doing a hybrid FV/TV and LCL/VCL. Not reusing TV except for principles

All TV/FV projects use streaming, but it is mostly a binary format. I assume the streaming mechanism is documented in the objects unit documentation.

TV/FV is not LCL in the way you have to write code to read and write every value. (there is no automated streaming based on RTTI in TV). I would doing that more LCL-like in a new version, and in general do away with the many old things like TP objects (instead of delphi classes), shortstring/pchar use (instead of ansistring/unicodestring/utf8string)

Afaik Ncurses is only used for its terminal database, not the actual drawing, which is too limited
