What is your favorite terminal emulator?

[hiro]

I use the mouse as much as I can, and still like minimalism.
So if I want stacked terminals I do it like this (use a stacking window manager: e.g. wmii, dwm):

Hi - I like your screen setup-
what is the that 9th icon from the top? (the two screens)
which program lays behind it?

Thank you

Well this is 'terminator' in a grid of four on crunchbang wth the preferences dialog:

And this is Sakura on Tiny Core with the context menu:

For system administrators I think terminator has a lot to offer if a little heavyweight for some...

The single and dual monitors and the thinkpad are calling a script to setup my monitors with xrandr.
It's currently a hack. I haven't understood how to create proper icons for the script, so I haven't made it a proper extension yet.

These screenshots look rather good, and showcase just how different a TC install can look. If you don't mind, please also add them to

For the GUI brigade who want familiar mouse functionality such as right-click context menu, customisability such as font change, background colour, transparency, cut-and-paste via the context menu, then one or several of the following:

Lxterminal, Sakura, Evilvte, gnome-terminal, Terminal [xfce] all offer such functionality.

These are all based on VTE (see vte.tcz.info)

There's no denying that compiz delivers a certain 'wow' factor but it's also a big drain on resources.

I use Xcompmgr to deliver some subtle fade in/drop shadow/transparency to my openbox that makes it easy on the eye without the full fanfare.

As I get older I incline towards minimalism where desktops are concerned.

it is running lightening fast on my machine, if you have enough resources why not use them ?

I'm running a mini-itx board with the nvidia ion chipset and an 1.6 ghz atom cpu; the box is the size of a book and has nothing in it except the motherboard. It consumes typically 25w. I use windows 7 on an external ssd, and crunchbang on a notebook 2.5 sata drive in a drive enclosure, and tiny core from a usb stick.

I like tc because it runs in ram [ I have 4gb of ram] and the write-tos are kept to a minimum [my sticks have gone two years so far and counting]. It's pretty fast once loaded and really keeps the power consumption to a minimum [just powered off a usb stick].

I am a bit weird about energy efficiency - still lately my electric bill has been less painful reading!

I have a big box with the usual gubbins in it but it makes a sound like a hoover and generates enough heat to heat a small room. I don't use it much. The small PC is fanless and silent and that's how I like it....
