Is there any terminal emulator where the user can choose the position of the tab bar? I want to have the tab bar on the left, with vertically aligned tabs, or configure the tab-bar to be multi-line. I often have many (>20) tabs open in my terminal, and the information on the tabs becomes completely unreadable. I would like to configure the tab-bar to either be vertically aligned on the left, or be multi-row (a bit like the configurability of Tab Mix Plus in Firefox)

Can this be done in gnome-terminal, or in konsole, or in any other terminal emulator? Another feature I'm missing dearly is the 'monitor for silence' and 'monitor for activity' pair, with timeouts that can be configured. Also, I'd like the terminal to do pseudo-transparency like gnome-terminal can do in gnome. So in summary, I'm looking for a rich-featured terminal emulator.

Who can recommend one?
