At first it was rxvt-unicode (flexible, light, utf-8 enabled...).
But now it's terminator[1] mamimized, borderless and with extreme_tabs :)

It's based on vte so it's as light (heavy?) and feature-full as
gnome-terminal plus it as an amazing splitting/tabbing facility: you can
cut a terminal in two, either horizontally or vertically, as deeply as
you want and you can even add tabs to the new sub terminal (with
extreme_tabs on).
It's also possible to drag and drop terminal from tabs to tabs.
There is also a zooming/maximize feature that is very handy.
Simultaneous typing to arbitrary groups of terminals is also nice.
Using wide screens I like to be able to have two term side by side and
with terminator it's easy to do this in one single window, allowing you
to easily resize them.
Now I just have to open one terminator window by screen :)

But sometimes I get some troubles with extreme tags (I think): some
times when closing multiple terms from a tab, the last terms of the tab
are "hidden under a tab wide grey area" and are no more accessible for
closing/working, I have to close the window (the other tabs are not
affected). (I will have to test a bit more before reporting a bug.)

But as terminator is so confortable/flexible I stick to it. :)

White on black, no transparency, Tango theme and Inconsolata as font.
