Tilda

Tilda 0.09.1 on Gnome 2.16 (Gentoo)

Stable release	0.9.6 / April 28th, 2008
Operating system	Linux
Type	Terminal Emulator
License	GPL

Tilda is a GTK+ terminal emulator. Its design was inspired from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again.

Running Tilda is faster than launching a new terminal with a keyboard shortcut because the program is already loaded into memory, and so can be useful to people who frequently find themselves opening and closing terminals for odd tasks.

It is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
