Superkaramba, I got it!
« on: November 25, 2009, 01:16:34 AM »
I received a PM whose name I will withhold at the moment requesting the modded widget I have on a screenshot. I asked for his email, and sent him the file. I received a reply that Superkaramba is not a KDE 4 package anymore. Strange because I still have my widget up and running on Superkaramba.

I did a search in Synaptic and true enough, I couldn't find it. I guess I got lucky that it wasn't uninstalled and I just prefer the PCLOS-Monitor than others similar to it at KDE-Look.

Is anyone else running Superkaramba on KDE 4.3.3?

Take a look:

Superkaramba is part of the kdeutils-4.3.3 package my friend.

I knew it ... I knew it .... I knew it had to be part of one of the KDE components.

Thank you for that valuable info, Tex. You are truly such a swell guy.

coachj and NoIBnds,

Have you tried the CWP - Customizable Weather Plasmoid (Applet) in KDE4 yet?  Like you I enjoyed LW, mainly for me because it showed a 5 day forecast.  CWP is more customizable than LW is and I am enjoying it more and more.

Just thought I would pass this on.

I don't get my local weather forecast on any of the applets that came with KDE 4. I haven't tried CWP but I do like Liquid Weather.

That's what I am using now, but would MUCH prefer Liquid Weather!

Hello coachj, you can get CWP from the kde-look site (www.kde-look.org), just choose  the rpm version and follow the instructions, it seems to install quite easily. Another good weather applet is yawp - YetAnotherWeatherPlasmoid - which is also on the kde-look site. Unfortunately its only available as the source and I haven't been able to build it despite fairly clear instructions (no surprise, so far I'm still hopeless at building from source despite nearly 5 years 'playing' at Linux). However, its in the 2010 version of Mandriva - maybe Tex or somebody else competent at compiling could make it available to the rest of us?

i abandoned superkaramba because it was giving me problems with transparency, no idea why, also it didn't worked with some of fields i added to my monitor(i customized it a lot)

seeing your monitor Archie, i decided to do lots of modifications again to see if it worked well again and it did, no more transparency errors

it is a work in progress, i need to learn how to do some stuff in inkscape and remember other stuff in gimp

btw, ksnapshot in kde4 is awesome!
