GoogleWeather
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A small Superkaramba theme that loads weather forecast information using the Google API.
You can get the current situation and forecast for today and the next 3 days.
Also the small images are downloaded from Google.
You can change:
- The location name
- The google URL for your country. And note that this automatically changes the localization :)
Still to do:
- Error handling (e.g. location not found...)
- Handle cases when strings are too big and go out of the background
- Translate the time format to the current time, using the timezone
- Add version information and "about".
This is my very first KDE and/or Karamba widget...
It's actually a prototype .
I hope you like it anyway.

Version 0.2 (2009-04-01):
Fixed parsing of XML data, in case the main node ("weather") contains some text element;
Changed background to pure transparent (it looks nicer, for example with "Silicon" theme).
[strike]Version 0.3 (2009-04-15):
Compliant with the new default google location for the images, that are now under "ig/".[/strike]
(2009-04-28): Reverting to version 0.2. Google is now including the "ig" directory in the image path: so we don't need to add it anymore. (It's difficult to keep up with their changes: I'll try to contact someone...)

I use your theme to improve mine (cf. http://tinyurl.com/superlight) but since KDE4 on every restart of superkaramba all my panel forgot their positions and cities name.
I tried with your last theme and you've the same issue ? Did you know how to solve it ?
Regards.

I don't seem to have this problem in my environment, with googleweather.
The city names, in my case, are saved by means of karamba.writeConfigEntry(), and therefore go to the config file that is ~/.superkaramba/theme_name.rc.
Could you check if such a file is created?
Regards
Pier

SuperKaramba cannot continue to run this theme.One or more of the required components of the Kross scripting architecture is not installed. Please consult this theme's documentation and install the necessary Kross components.
What's wrong?

It seems to depend on a missing library: krosspython.so.
On Fedora 9, I could solve it by installing a package named "kdebindings".
I hope this helps for you.
Thanks for the feedback.

There's just a package named "kdebindings-java". I installed that but it doesn't work! Hmm, what else could be the problem?

I think that the right package for Debian could be "python-kde4" or "kdebindings".
I don't think java is involved here.
Let me know...
Thanks
