Advantage of Guake Terminal

Guake is a top-down for Gnome and is highly inspired by the famous terminal used in Quake. In any place, you just open by pressing a single key like F12 also close by pressing the same key. You will see the terminal on top of the screen. Another thing is transparency, that’s the very amazing thing about Guake that I like very much. You can use terminal + background text at a time, coz you can control transparency within a short time by pressing Ctrl  + Shift + Up/Down for instance.
