This package provides configurable, drop-down Emacs frames, similar to drop-down terminal windows
programs, like Yakuake. Each frame can be customized to display certain buffers in a certain
way, at the desired height, width, and opacity. The idea is to call the `yequake-toggle' command
from outside Emacs, using emacsclient, by binding a shell command to a global keyboard shortcut
in the desktop environment. Then, with a single keypress, the desired Emacs frame can be toggled
on and off, showing the desired buffers.

This is mainly intended to be called from outside Emacs. So:
1. Start an Emacs daemon.

If you bind that shell command to a global keyboard shortcut, you can easily toggle the frame on
and off.
