Guake

Drop-down terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop, styled after FPS-game consoles.

Desktopfree

Guake is a free, open-source drop-down terminal for the GNOME Linux desktop, built in Python. Its window slides into view with a single keypress, similar to an in-game console, for quick access to a shell without switching windows. It's for GNOME users who want fast, always-available terminal access.
