Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/maestrogerardo/matrix
This is the MATRIX widget (Plasmoid). It helps you to rescue the world ... every day!
----
Thanks to Aaron Siego for his daily blog entries - they encouraged me to program this shining piece of software! B-)

Please note that it's probably necessary to restart Plasma if you update this plasmoid!

The Matrix has you...

- improved efficiency!
V0.5
- once again more customizing features

You can do that using the following command:

Sorry for that...

- enhanced 3D extension
- new configuration dialogue
- smaller bugfixes and more
V0.3

- plasma (settings) crash fixed
V0.2
- possibility to resize the Plasmoid

I guess it is because I run kde without desktop effects/composite, but really 100% cpuload is too mutch
is there no other way to speed it up?

give the new version a try! I improved the performance regarding "custom color settings" and "transparency" a lot...
...I hope you are lucky :-)

As result I get a perceived cpu load of pretty much 0% ;-)

Secondly, if plasmoid is reloaded, it doesn't show anything, leaving plasmoid window completely empty.

@resizing: are you sure, that matrix plasmoid V.02 is running?
If so - the matrix should adjust to new plasmoid size a moment later... (not?)
If not, try to restart KDE so that changes between V.01/V.02 could take place.
@reloading: that's right! I'll try to fix that in the following release :-)

It would be interesting to see how this will evolve (assuming it will) and which direction development could take.

well, this program is a Plasmoid Script! Therefore the source code is included in the package automatically (e.g. JavaScript-Code).
So, if you want the source code, just extract the package and there it is ;-)

I can confirm that - the same happened to me (KDE 4.4). Thanks for this hint! I'll try to fix that before the next release...
Fortunately there are no settings to do till now ;-)

what do you mean with wallpaper plugin?
Are you thinking of a background image (behind the characters of the matrix)?
