i'd give all that away to instead have tab completing based on man page parameters descriptions or something.
Installation is a bit of a pain, at least on OS X. It complains of a bunch of packages missing. Consider having it available through macports.
How did you install it? I'm on OS X, too, and make throws this error: "make: * No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.".
That should bring you into configure. This still fails for me, but at least then one can see what needs to be installed or updated in order to satisfy configure.
Transparency and background images are great for making screenshots to show off your customized desktop. For actual daily use, they're absurd.
I use transparency on terminals since I use X. Its not to bad if i dont have it, but on a tiling wm its the only way to see whats your background image ;) Yeah, its useless. But a bit of candy is not to bad.

On the other hand, I couldn’t help thinking, while watching the video, why should my terminal load web pages and images? I’ve done the same thing both in Linux and now on OS X, by using various 'open' commands or – on OS X – 'qlmanage -p', which opens a QuickLook window for a file, just like the video is showing, but it’s system wide and not in my terminal. And this is not a “OS X had this before” post, it’s just tha…
Thumbnails for filelists seems somewhat useful. And another use for inline image display is that you could be modifying the image and then scroll back and forth to see the results and intermediates.

Terminology still has problems compared to SecureCRT or rxvt-unicode. I have been trying it on and off, as recently as this morning from the latest builds on ppa hannes-janetzek/svn-enlightenment, and if you fill the screen with text, it frequently does the wrong thing with the scrollback buffer, but as far as advanced terminals go, there's nothing for competition with Terminology. For the neatest demo of what you mi…
FWIW, the ppa is hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn, and you can try it out in Ubuntu with: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightment-svn sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install terminology great effort coming along. I'm sticking with terminator for now but will keep my eye on terminolog.
[buster@Fry➔ ~] terminology
terminology: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libelementary.so.1: undefined symbol: ECORE_X_ATOM_E_ILLUME_ACCESS_ACTION_ACTIVATEI used to care a lot about tabs and pane splitting in the terminal emulator. Then I discovered terminal multiplexers: screen, then tmux. Now I don't want those features in the terminal emulator anymore, as they overlap and even conflict with the terminal multiplexer.
Otherwise, I'd be running tmux on my local machine, then want to run tmux on a remote machine, and nesting terminal multiplexers is not good.

I'm currently working on text reflow when resizing terminology.
