Terminal embedded in desktop, Gnome 3

CaseMonster · 2011-06-19 06:55:42

I just came back to linux after ~2 yrs on windows. When i ran gnome 2 i had a terminal that automatically launched on login ( it ran borderless, without a titlebar, buttons, etc... )

I've searched around some and I can't find a solution. Does anyone know of a program that can display a terminal on the desktop like this?

Something like this...

Try tilda. Don't set a keybind for opening, set it to open on start, set transparent etc.

Hmm yeah this doesn't work well with alt-tab. I think i'm just gonna give up on gnome and move to awesome wm. Not really high on gnome3 and i hear good things about awesome.

Use xwinwrap in the AUR to run the apple2 or phosphor Xscreensaver hacks on the desktop.

Thanks rea. I'm sure people could have found that themselves; it's the third result when I googled. Forum Etquette: Old Threads / Necro-Bumping; closing.
