Multi-aterm is a firstly a terminal emulator like rxvt, xterm, eterm, aterm, etc etc. There are many terminals emulators, so why writing another one ?
- I wanted a terminal emulator small and fast with efficent pseudo transparency, like aterm.
- I also wanted a tabbed terminal emulator like GMT (gnome-multi-terminal).
- I want the terminal emulator not requiring GNOME or KDE libs, just written in X-lib (for people not using GNOME nor KDE)
- finally, I was curious to understand how works a terminal emulator !
Aterm was closed from what I was wanted, so I start multi-aterm from aterm sources, version 0.4.2 (lastest known).

Here are some screenshot of multi-aterm. Click an image to enlarge it.

This is the work that remains to be done to end multi-aterm.
- improve when terminal background is refreshed and/or redrawn
- develop a tool to configure each terminal background and attributes (tab name, ...)
- make a man page
- write documentation on multi-aterm, how works a terminal-emultator
