SuperKaramba is een programma voor de KDE-omgeving op het Linux-platform waarmee gebruikers interactieve 'eye-candy' kunnen aanmaken. Je kan gebruik maken van een eigen theme of van tekstbestanden waarin een widget wordt beschreven. Eventueel kan je jouw widget interactief maken met een script geschreven in Python. XMMS Bar, TuxBar en Station V zijn enkele voorbeelden van de mogelijke 'eye-candy' die gemaakt kunnen worden. Versie 0.39 is sinds kort binnen te halen met de volgende veranderingen:
Changes in 0.39:
- Themes now go to the background correctly when opening multiple themes at the same time
- itemDropped() callback now has x/y cooridinates
- Fixed the New Stuff dialog's installed status check marks for failed downloads
- Don't pop up the Theme Dialog when restoring a session and there aren't any themes saved in the session
- Local themes can now be removed from the theme dialog, although we don't delete the theme out from underneath the user. It is delisted so that they can change their mind later and run it again.
- Downloaded themes from New Stuff get moved to trash:/ when a user clicks uninstall so they can restore it if they wish.
- Better checks for libknewstuff when compiling.
- Using New Stuff where theme authors post url links instead of file downloads will now open in a browser window for the user. Beware that closing this without downloading a package will still leave it as installed as far as New Stuff is concerned. (shortcoming of KNewStuff)
- new format options for things like kilobits, kilobytes and gigabytes as listed on our sensor information page: http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssensors.html
