As I understand it, Total Terminal is a thin layer on top of Terminal.app that adds some Yakuake-like features.
My question is: Is it possible to use Total Terminal with iTerm2 as the "backend" instead of Terminal.app?

There is already the functionality, as Phoenix said, so no use for "changing the backend" of TotalTerminal. In iTerm2, just add a new profile with setting Window/Style/top of screen, add a global hotkey for toggling iTerm2 on this specific profile, and you're done.

I was just wondering this as well, however iTerm2 has a visor implementation already built in. It's not as nice as totalterminal's ( no animation, or autostart built in ) but it's workable. Going to try it out for awhile and see if I can work out what little kinks I have with it. If you find any tips or tricks let me know

2I'm not seeing the visor implementation built into iTerm2. How do you activate it? Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 3:03

Not sure if they added it recently, but I have the animation working in my machine Commented Aug 19, 2013 at 5:16
As the accepted answer states, there's no need to configure totalterminal to run iterm2, instead configure iterm2 to act like visor. The link in the accepted answer is broken. Here is a different one:
