Theme == Mandrake Galaxy theme. The only reason it's there, is that I don't know how to change it in kde. If I change the gtk theme in gnome, it's changed in gnome, but go back to kde, and it's still galaxy.

Using mdk9.1 btw. Anyone know how to fix this?

However, you will need to change the y co-ordinate on the moveWidget function, otherwise, it will revert when moved to the y position in the .py file.

You may need to close the theme, and delete ~/.superkaramba/osnews.rc, then restart the theme.

For some reason I find that this file can interfere with the operation of the theme if you change its position. Once you delete it and restart, often the problems go away.

I'm not at my real computer, so can't check. The background and text positions are set in the .theme file. The handle position is set in the .py file.

You'll need to change the y values in the .py file in the mouseClicked and mouseMoved callbacks relating to the moveWidget function. If I recall correctly it is the only fixed numerical value in that function call.

You'll also need to change the y position of the theme in the .theme file to the same value.

You shouldn't need to change any other values (AFAICR). - May 20 2003

This is a question for other people making superkaramba themes. I have implemented the handle slide/resize thingy in this theme for a vertical slider. However, the imageResize needed to move the handle in and out works considerably slower on a height resize, as opposed to on a width resize (ie resize by width). Has anyone else noticed this difference? The loop I am using is identical, except that the resize is done for height, as opposed to width.

Any assistance would be appreciated on this. - May 19 2003

Not sure what you're getting at here. At this stage, I'm just using this as a way to get familiar with python/karamba. Once I get a bit more competent, I might try something fancy ... small steps ... I'm sure there will be more. - May 19 2003

Karamba & Superkaramba by AriSteinberg 35 comments

Couple of questions, sort of related to this post.

1. Is it possible to change the colour of the text that pops up? I can't find anything obvious in the python script, although I know very little about python, so might need a little guidance on where to find this.

2. This theme keeps my cpu at about 15%. Is this normal? Is there anyway to reduce the cpu usage?

Otherwise a fantastic theme. Very happy with it.

Has anyone got the kmenu to work on MDK9.1? I doesn't seem to work at all for me, and I'm wondering if it has to do with the non-standard way MDK deals with menus. If anyone has come up with a fix to get this working, I'd love to hear it.

For mandrake, you need:

Just pulled your latest script, but I am struggling to see the difference. I didn't retain the old version of the script, so can't check. However, it only seems to resize in one direction (ie x), and doesn't test for aspect ratio, and resize accordingly. Seems to me you could test for aspect ratio, and if y is greater than x, convert to a maximum y value, rather than the current script that converts to a maximum x value regardless.

Unfortunately, I don't do perl, so I'm not sure how to do it. I could do it in bash, but before I do that, thought you, or someone might have a go at it.

Karamba Metoffice.com Weather Theme

Karamba & Superkaramba by NickG_double 7 comments

Both HTML::TokeParser and LWP::Simple are installed as standard on MDK9.1. If not installed, then they can be installed very simply with the command:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::TokeParser'

perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP::Simple'

Might be useful to include this in the readme.txt tho.

KDE 3.x Window Decorations by davidsansome 139 comments

I have just installed the 2.0 version. I have enabled shadows on all windows, however, this creates a bug on minimized windows - in that they leave their shadow behind, and it seems to be impossible to get rid of them without closing that application. If shadow is only set to the top window, there is no such problem. Hope this is fixable, and not a shortcoming of kde/qt.

Thanks for the great work so far!

Keramik Kstyle

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by sorucexx 10 comments

The point is that kstyles can't be compiled from your tarball, because there is no configure script. Agreed, the kdelibs package from cvs does not automatically compile keramik, however, it is very simple to go into the keramik directory and run make and make install in that directory. However, in order to do that you need to have run a configure script (as well as compiling other parts of the package that the keramik style relies on).

Keramik Kstyle

KDE 3.0-3.4 Themes by sorucexx 10 comments

Maybe I'm being stupid here, but ...

Having compiled keramik out of CVS previously, I don't see how this will work. I download your tar.gz file, untar it etc, and go to kstyles directory. First thing I notice - no configure script. So I think - doesn't need configure, I'll just run make ... error Makefile.in requires configure.in. Is there something I'm missing. Wouldn't it be easier for people just to download the kdelibs package from kde, and compile the kstyles portion themselves? At least then they'd get the required configure script.

Alternatively (for Mandrake users), to install the latest texstar rpm for kdelibs that includes keramik out of the box?

I wouldn't say it's unreleased code. It is available for testing on public servers. Redhat has put it into its KDE3.0 rpms, which are available on the kde ftp site and mirrors. Also Texstar has put it into his Mandrake rpms for kde3.0. - Apr 13 2002

No "theme" as such. The style is keramik, icons are slick, colour scheme is the kde default, window decoration is my own.

Keramik style on KDE3

KDE Plasma Screenshots by spanky 13 comments

Download kdelibs from the latest kde cvs snapshot.

Unzip and untar it to a temporary directory.

In the kdelibs directory, do:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3/

you may need to install some development libraries or disable features to fix errors.

Once you get a clean configure, then you need to run make in each of the following directories:

/dcop
/libltdl
/kdecore
/kdefx
/kdeui

Once you've run make in those directories, go to the /kstyles directory and run make there.

Then su to root and run make install.

It seems that the standard make file run the make file in the keramik directory, so cd to the keramik directory, and run make and then make install in that directory.

Then you should have keramik in kcontrol centre.

Good Luck!
