If you are looking for a lightweight and powerful multi-tabbed X terminal emulator, then Mrxvt is definitely worth checking out. Formerly known as Materm, this software is based on the popular rxvt and aterm, which means it has some pretty impressive features.
One of the most notable features of Mrxvt is its support for multiple tabs, which makes it extremely easy to manage multiple tasks or activities simultaneously. Additionally, it comes equipped with runtime dynamic tab titles, session support for each tab, and input broadcasting for all tabs. Plus, users have the option to configure keyboard shortcuts, create translucent windows, and even adjust the background color tinting.
