Description:

Patched version of Karamba includes the following patches:
1) Drop down calendar (KDatePicker) widget
2) Image rollover (to achieve icon zooming effect)
3) Image tooltip support
4) Scrolling text for text sensor


the IMAGE tag has three new parameters:
PATHROLL, XROLL, and YROLL
PATHROLL should point to the image to load when the mouse is rolled over on top. XROLL and YROLL are optional and specify the X,Y position of the rollover image (i.e.: if you need to offset it, if you're doing the icon zooming effect for example). If XROLL and YROLL aren't specified, then it will use the X,Y position specified for the regular image.

IMAGE also now has a TOOLTIP parameter which will show a KDE/Qt tooltip if the cursor is hovering over IMAGE.

To use the drop-down calendar, you specify a click area to the TIME sensor by specifying two paramters: CALWIDTH and CALHEIGHT. These define a click area which, when clicked in, will drop down the calendar.

Text scrolling can be done with two new parameters to the TEXT tag:
MOVE which needs a integer value (positive or negative). this param determines how many pixel the text can move for each refresh.
MAXMOVE limit the width of the movement zone.
e.g.: TEXT X=0 Y=0 SENSOR=XMMS COLOR=240,240,240 BGCOLOR=60,60,60 FONTSIZE=13 FONT="Spacesuit" SHADOW=2 FORMAT="%title" MOVE=-2 MAXMOVE=640

Whoops. Added the tarball this time. :)

Added tooltip support to the IMAGE tag. You can specify a TOOLTIP="sdlfjklsd" parameter to the IMAGE now. Tooltips only pop up when the Karamba window is focused (meaning, you might have to click on it first)

Changed title to reflect that it also has the drop-down calendar, since I deleted that separate patch from KDE-look.

The configure script output ends thus:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

Please help!

I'm running a Woody/Sarge box, and can't even get through the configure script! Karamba compiled without a hitch. I tried installing libqt3-dev, but still no go. Does any Debian user know what packages I need to apt-get?

Hi BOSSoNe,
Your latest correction indeed solved my problem :)
but....
When I use the MOVE function I get exactly the same problem again :(

Can anybody give Karamba the "rolling" elegance of say... YZDock in Windoze? Check it out. It has all these nifty effects, much like OSX but however still very different. Karamba could stand to gain from this sort of playful fun as well. Just my 2 cents.

This looks like a fork of karamba to me.

I hope the patch is incorporated in the original karamba... this is after all a patched version only, not a significant work in a different direction

Hrmmm...... I've been playing around with adding some of the effects in this patch to slickbar (this patch, btw, is wonderful), but I've hit a snag: YROLL is ignored if its 0, even though Y=0 works fine for other elements (including images). This is only a little annoying, but is definitely something you should look at (I haven't checked XROLL).

hi .. as far as i can see the nicetime switch for the cpu sensor only shows the system nicetime? - would be great if there is a way to add also the usernicetime as separate function.

You need to run ./configure not ./config - ./configure will generate the Makefile so that typing "make" will do something.

And you need to make sure ./configure says something along the lines of "Good! Confingure Finished" or whatever it says for kde programs. Otherwise, look at what error it gave and post that.

Don't know if this is only to my theme.
I am using the Mac OS X theme with karamba. I have some text object on the top bar, like "search, logout,etc". It was working great when I use 0.17a (the version with icon rollover support).
If I use 0.17c to load the theme, the text objects won't display properly. It seems random that which text objects will show up and where they will showup.. And you can reload the configuration, different text objects show up, but seldom all show up together and at the right locations...
Thanks for the great work, though!

After playing with it for a while, this problem might have sth to do with the text scrolling...

Thanks very much for working so hard on it:) I wasn't able to patch the testlabel.cpp, maybe it's because we didn't have the same original file. Can you send me the whole file textlabel.cpp to yychen@glue.umd.edu
thanks again!

Hi this seems like a great bunch of patches,
but I have a minor problem.

When I use this with the news theme,
some of the news headlines aren't aligned to the left.
Others don't even appear.

If I do a Reload Configuration, some lines come back, but others will disappear.

(the news theme works great with the unpatched karamba 0.17)
