dhex is a hex editor. It can be used to alter individual bytes in large files, whilst being a console-based program based on ncurses. Its special feature is the diff mode: With it, the user has a visual tool for binary file comparison.
The program's appearance can be changed to a certain degree with themes, where the colors and key bindings can be customized. This way it is possible to use it on a monochrome monitor, even though the default appearance uses lots of colors.
All its configuration- and meta files are stored in ASCII-format, and can be edited easily with a third-party editor, or exchanged between computers.
