My Quake-like console in KDE

Recently I switched to KDE and still wanted to use the Quake-like console. Previously in GNOME I used Guake but it seems not working well in KDE. When I type "exit" in the last console session, Guake window disappears as it should be. But when I press F12, Guake window appears again but without any consoles. There is no use clicking on the New Tab button either.

I managed to switch to Yakuake. Yakuake uses Konsole. It took me a while to tweak the color scheme of Konsole. It looks much better now.


My color scheme is modified from Dark Pastels scheme available in default in Yakuake. My customized color scheme can be downloaded from here. Droid Sans 10 font is used in the console.
