I have become a big fan of the program Tilda. Tilda is a Linux terminal that drops down a borderless terminal window when a key is pressed, taking after the likeness of many classic terminals from first person shooter games (Quake, Doom, Half-Life, etc…).
One problem tilda has is that does fake transparency, showing your background wallpaper but slightly darken behind the tilda window. If you are using Beryl or Compiz, you can get true transparency installing this deb package (Click the deb link, and have gdebi automatically install the package).
Screenshot:
My Tilda Configuration (put in .tilda directory): config_0

Notes:
- (from Tilda Wiki) If your fonts look weird in some way try turning on double buffering. In the Preference window, the General tab, select Enable Double Buffering.
- How do I turn off ‘focus stealing prevention‘ in Beryl, so focusing will run proper with Tilda?
- A bug report has been filed in launchpad to get this possibly added to tilda in Ubuntu officially:
