It looks cool and all, but I just want a Linux term than can log all output a file so I have a record of what I did. There doesn't seem to be any decent ones out there.
you use the /usr/bin/script program to record a transcript of a session. no term emulators that i know of provide this kind of feature natively though.
i'd give all that away to instead have tab completing based on man page parameters descriptions or something.

i cannot force this to work on urxvt :/

Why would it be absurd? Do you use a monochrome display? Because, let's face it, black/white is all you need. Or green/white.
Because backgrounds (or movies) like the ones shown in the video make the terminal text completely unreadable and reading the text on a terminal is kind of the whole point of it. Edit: That sounded a little more negative than I meant it. I'm actually a fan of transparent or backgrounds, but I think they need a lot of tint/blur to them or they become distracting and/or make the text unreadable. This was evident in the…
It's very clean and nice looking... I don't understand how this is distracting.
I really, really like terminology (as i like Enlightenment), but i am waiting until it supports Tabs, the only thing missing for me. As to all the "uhh, i don't want additional stuff" comments: There is no reason a terminal emulator can look nice as long as it doesn't distract. And so far, terminology does a really good job! And good, does it look sexy.. ;) Keep up the development of terminology, one user here for su…
If you had watched the screencast, you'd have seen that a tab-like feature was in the works, that allows you to multiplex terminals inside Terminology.

I never heard of ppa-purge before. Thanks for playing! :)
I'm wondering.. when i hit ctrl-shift-t it seems to open a new terminal? Atleast i get a new prompt.. but no way to switch?

I want so badly for the XFT thing to not be a problem. All my favorite terms benefit from using the old font system instead, but there just aren't any good fonts I can use. I do like some of the classic monospace fonts like 6x13, but my monitor resolution is just too high for that.
How about GNU unifont or terminus? they both have fairly large sizes.

How do i switch the tabs?
As I said it's still a work in progress.

Confirmed. I have no idea what it's doing, maybe this is preliminary support for tabs. You have more terminals to log out from after ctrl+shift+t.
CTRL-Pgup and Pgdown, trying tomorrow :)

I gave up on urxvtcd when I realized that a single crash brings down all your terminals. Nowadays I use stock xterm, since while I was dallying with urxvt, xterm got the one feature I cared about from urxvt, which was URGENT-on-bell.
I'm not sure how to port color/font config from my urxvt config to xterm. Googling only seems to tell me to how to change background/foreground, not the individual colours. Also, Is there any reason not to use just urxvt (without the client/daemon setup)? I've never had a crash that has brought down all of my clients, however.
at the time, I think I was on some kind of network where urxvt's terminfo wasn't likely to be installed anywhere. I know I could install it everywhere in ~/.terminfo or whatever, but it was a pain to get to a new host and realize that I hadn't set it up. I went back to xterm.
