Ever since tilda was included and then
removed from the obarun iso, I haven't had the need for a drop-down terminal, despite my screen always been cluttered with terminals! Until recently I discovered
yeahconsole. What made me interested in this drop-down, is that it does the impossible, it is only one source file and it only depends on libx11 and urxvt or xterm :D. contrary to the rest either heavily depending on
kde,
Gnome,
python2 and dbus,
Vala/GTK3, or
VTE.
Alternatives to yeahconsole are
tdrop, bash dependent and has a few more xorg dependencies but takes advantage of tmux and
termistor wayland-oriented
