I like the look of this terminal emulator,but I like the ability to make new tabs like in Konsole.

@Toadfield why not use a terminal multiplexer like tmux?
That way your tabs would be independent from the terminal emulator.

I agree with you here. Using sometging like tmux looks cooler and tabs would destroy the look

I would like tabs too, but I agree with not ruining the aesthetic. If I were going to make this, I would keep tab info in the window title bar, and have hot keys for new tabs and navigating tabs. The window title could look something like...

cool-retro-term (tab 1 of 3)

I don't think you need title renaming or tab re-ordering or anything fancy like that. I usually just tab through what I have until I get to what I need when I use tabbed terminals.

So if you're looking for multiple terminal support, I found a way to have multiple windows at once (not tabs though.)

It's very limited, but simple to do. In MacOS, I copied the application and renamed it to make it a separate app. Now I have two windows to use, which act like separate applications.

The downsides are configs won't be shared (you'll have to export in one and import in the other to update your profiles), and you'll need to repeat this depending on how many extra windows you want.

The up side is this is a very easy technique that can likely work on any OS. And a bonus, you can cmd+tab between the terminals, which I actually prefer.
