This theme creates a moonclock on your desktop using SuperKaramba. The lunar image is shaded to the actual phase in your favorite color and can be rotated. I've tested with version 0.33 and it appears to be stable, however, this is the first thing I've written, so you might experience some issues.
The image of the moon is shaded to the appropriate lunar phase by passing command line arguments to ImageMagick's convert. Therefore, you should ensure that the binary is correctly identified in drawmoon.py.
Left clicking on the moon will display text information, while middle clicking will display lunation information.
Using SuperKaramba's "Configure theme" menu, you can enter the shading color in anything understood by convert. The default it #00000080 which equates to a semi-transparent black. The typical syntax is #RRGGBBAA (# is required and AA is alpha channel). You can also change the units from kilometers to miles and change the rotation of the image. This gives you some added realism for what the moon looks like in your sky.

Version 0.93:
* This time we actually update the moon graphic! ;-) 0.92
introduced a bug that caused the same image that was read by
convert, to be outputted by convert. This was really stupid, but
tough to track as you have to wait for the moon phase to change.
* Updated the Julian date conversion function to be more accurate, however,
this still needs to be verified for correctness.
* Added "Configure Theme" menu items to change the shading color and the
rotation of the moon. A future update will allow the shading and the moon
to have separate rotations.
* Added "Configure Theme" menu item to display distance's in miles vs.
kilometers (default)
Version 0.92:
* Corrected display of Julian date to include a trailing zero.
* Properly delete and create a new image handle for display graphic.
* If we're updating the moon graphic, we now remember the current phase fraction.
* Use karamba.getThemePath(widget) for graphics path vs. coded values.

Further to my previous post you need to change these lines as well:
Line 350:
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "fillvalue", 0)
Line 354:
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "mrotation", 0)
Again change the "0" to 0. This allows the entry boxes to appear so that you can enter in new colour and rotation values.
Seems all OK now :)

I have just downloaded this and have found a bug in the python code. I am using Superkaramba v0.35 btw.
If you have problems starting this and the shell reports problems on line 86 then change the following:
Line 86:
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "fillvalue", 0)
Line 87:
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "mrotation", 0)
Note that the zeros have changed from "0" to 0 on both lines.
That is all you need to do and it will work perfectly:)
This is a great karamba btw. It is so nice to see something other than system monitors and launch bars. Keep up the excellent work :)

I love this thing. And I do believe it is useful to Farmers, Hunters, Astrologists, Astronomers, Wiccans, and a whole bunch of folks whom I'm not thinking of right now. And plus it just looks cool.
Blessed Be,
Jason Hodges
