What is SuperKaramba?
SuperKaramba is, in simple terms, a tool that allows you to easily create interactive eye-candy on your KDE desktop. Currently, only linux is officially supported.
How does it work?
Theme writers create themes, or text files that define their widget. Then, they can optionally add python scripting to make their widget interactive. The possibilities are endless!
Here are just some examples of the things that can be done:
Display system information such as CPU Usage, MP3 playing, etc.
Create cool custom toolbars that work any way imaginable
Create little games or virtual pets that live on your desktop
Display information from the internet, such as weather and headlines
The possibilities really are endless!

- Ryan (p0z3r), Petri, Ivica, and Sarah have done all the work on this release! Thanks!
- many new APIs
- new callbacks
- DCOP interface for superkaramba
- multiple superkarambas / one systray support
- added Fahrenheit support
- fixed the "moving themes" problem
- fixed the "always on top" problem
- fixed bug in setMenuConfigOption(). Please see api.html for the new syntax.
- asyncronous image loading. setImagePath() should now work with networked/remote files.
- fixed bug in meterClicked()
- fixed bug in setRichTextWidth() and getRichTextSize()
- much more code cleanup, bug fixes, and internal documentation
Changes in 0.34
- Ryan (p0z3r) and Petri have joined the team! They have helped a lot with this release.
- Added a tray icon that lets you lauch additional themes, quit SuperKaramba, or open the theme list dialog.
- Added a theme list dialog that lets you see all the themes currently running, close any of them, or open a new theme.
- The start-up dialog now integrates with the new SuperKaramba.com theme archive. When you start up SuperKaramba, it lets you see all the new themes automatically! Everyone post your themes on SuperKaramba.com so they will appear here for all to see.
- Fixed tons of bugs including, but not limited to, themes always on top in KDE 3.2, themes saving negative co-ordinates, themes not saving session info the first time they run, etc, etc. (Thanks alot to Petri and Ryan, and epecially Ryan for testing everything before the release).
- Lots of code cleanup (lots of thanks to Petri for his help in this area).
- Probably a lot of stuff I am forgetting. Have fun!
Changes in 0.33
- Fixed many bugs. These include: moveImage combined with attachClickArea now works, moveText now works, SuperKaramba properly handles different backgrounds on each desktop again, and who knows how many more little things.
- Fleshed out Systray API. In addition to createSystray() to create the System tray, there is now a hideSystray(), showSystray(), and moveSystray(). See the API for more details.
- Changed fonts to use fixed sizes. This means a few existing themes might look slightly different than intended, but once all themes are updated, no one should have problems with fonts not matching what the theme designer intended (unless they don't have the specific font installed that the theme uses).
- Added a new callback: widgetClosed() - This allows you to run cleanup code when your widget closes. See examples/template.py for full details.

If you open a terminal and run 'superkaramba' and you get errors, then /usr/local/kde/bin/ is not in your $PATH. I would look up how to set your PATH to include that directory. It involves editing your .bash_profile or .bashrc file in your home directory.
cheers,

[quote]go to ~/.kde/share/autostart
if the directory is not there, you'll need to copy it from $KDEDIR (where u installed KDE)
edit kdesktop.desktop
change line
Exec=kdesktop
to
Exec=kdesktop; karamba /path/to/theme.theme &[/quote]
but it doesn't work.
os: Mandrake 9.2
superkaramba: compiled the source of 3.2
Any idea?

I'm guessing it's something to do with Qt, but it's quite a ways into the make when this happens, everything else goes off without a hitch. I'd appreciate any help - I can't find anyone else with this error.
