Description:

This is my first program in Python.

It displays random anecdotes from www.viedemerde.fr site.

It is a very simple plasmoid, it has no settings and it updates itself every 40 seconds.

Just click on icon to force update.

Last changelog:

i think that the plasmoid needs update because it shows more words as javascript, with other symbols

Can you add an option changing the text color?

I try by adding "--font-color=bleu" after "p=subprocess.Popen(["./alb-fr --choix=aleatoire" but that don't work, font color is always white.

Hi chepioq,

the right code for the script is:

print "\033[0;$font$quote\033[0;0m\n";

but it doesn't work in the plasmoid.

I think you can change colour font only in your kde control center.

by

Hi dridk,

the correct request is:

"PLEASE, add VDM logo insteed your pingus."

thanks

There are no official logo on VDM site but for next release I'll ask directly to them.

This is a python script and all source are inside the file you donwnload.
