SuperKaramba

SuperKaramba is a powerful tool that lets you create interactive and visually appealing widgets on your KDE desktop. With this software, you can easily design and run little interactive applications that enhance the functionality of your desktop. These widgets are defined in a simple text file and can be made interactive using Python code, making them versatile and customizable.

SuperKaramba has a diverse range of widgets, from simple news headline displays to custom toolbars that work in any way imaginable. The possibilities are endless! You can create games, virtual pets, and display information from the internet, such as weather and headlines.

One of the best things about SuperKaramba is that it's exclusively available on Linux. Theme writers can create themes or text files that define their widget and add Python scripting to make their widget interactive.

The latest version of SuperKaramba has numerous new features and improvements. For instance, themes now go to the background correctly when opening multiple themes at the same time. The itemDropped() callback has x/y coordinates, and the New Stuff dialog's installed status check marks have fixed for failed downloads. Moreover, local themes can now be removed from the theme dialog, and downloaded themes from New Stuff get moved to trash:/ when a user clicks uninstall.

SuperKaramba also has many new functions added to its sensory information page. These functions include callTheme, changeInterval, createServiceClickArea, getIncomingData, getPrettyThemeName, getServiceGroups, getSystraySize, getUpdateTime, managementPopup, openNamedTheme, removeClickArea, run, setIncomingData, setUpdateTime, setWantRightButton, and setWidgetOnTop. These functions add to the already extensive range of features, making SuperKaramba a top choice for customizing desktops.
