I made a new version of my superkaramba theme:

 

- smaller

- different bg-image, better for various dark and light backgrounds

- calendar separated

- new design: for people who like colours :-)

- ready for Mandrake 10.1 (works on MDK 10.1 beta2 ;-), superkaramba 0.34 will be in contrib!

- included is a huge superkaramba_howto.txt file, everything I could find about creating your own theme

 

Download:

http://home.tiscali.nl/berenstraat/mdktest/kara_anna.tar.gz

 

Extract the kara_anna.tar.gz to your home dir, you'll get

a dir:

/kara_anna

kara_anna.theme

cal_anna.theme

superkaramba_howto.txt

 

a dir

/kara_anna/icons

... with icons and images

 

Start superkaramba, just open the theme(s).

 

Screenies with different backgrounds:

All themes for MUB in one tar.gz package now :-) and some minor changes:

- kara_mub_all.theme (incl. the calendar in the theme)

- kara_mub_transbg.theme (smaller without cal., transparent background)

- kara_mub_whitebg.theme (smaller without cal., white-semitransparent background)

- kara_mub_small (real small, for all backgrounds)

- kara_cal (the calendar)

 

Works on MDK 10.0 and 10.1 - and Suse, Slackware (get the new Slax 4.1.4 Live CD !!!), ...

 

Download:

 

http://www.rainbowlinux.org/mdktest/kara_mub.tar.gz

(50 kb, replaces the first kara_mub package ...)

 

For those who still need the superkaramba 0.34 base rpm (only for Mandrake 10.0):

http://www.rainbowlinux.org/mdktest/superk...100mdk.i686.rpm

 

For MDK 10.1 beta/RC superkaramba is in contrib!

 

Some notes

- Superkaramba works only if you set a background image

- clickable areas - when you start the theme, it is not 'docked', so you need to double-click

- Right click on the theme on your desktop will give you a superkaramba menu, one menu item is:

edit --> edit theme. This will launch your text editor, opens the theme (which is a simple text file), you can change here everything you want. For example: network traffic, default is: eth0 - so if you use eth1 or ppp0, just change it. Or if you use opera or mozilla as your browser, change the click & Go to your webbrowser. Save as: give your own theme a new name. You just created your own theme.

The code is really really simple. No python scripts!

You can change the fonts, the icons, the text: Mandrake 10.x, ...

Included is a superkaramaba_howto.txt where you'll find how to create a theme (without python).

but we cant configure it :( are you going to make it user configurable ?

 

Sure you can. Right click on the theme on your desktop, then edit the theme, it's a simple text file. Save it under <newname>.theme in the same dir

 

If you mean if I am going to implement python scripts to configure it - no, because it's beyond my Linux level :mr-green:

For you the replacement of the superkaramba letters:

 

post-1432-1094323273_thumb.jpg

 

Download it and save it as:

super_char3.png

in the icons directory of the theme.

Then edit the theme - change the line:

 

image x=140 y=25 path="icons/super_char2.png"

to:

image x=140 y=25 path="icons/super_char3.png"

 

To adjust the hostname output - change the font size in this line:

 

# User/host information

text x=45 y=20 sensor=program program="echo ${USER}@`hostname`" color=0,0,0 fontsize=10 font="Sans"

 

try fontsize=8
