SuperKaramba is a tool that allows the end user easily install or create interactive eye-candy on a KDE desktop. It’s even popular and stable enough to be put into KDE 3.5.
What SuperKaramba can do for you!
- Control/View XMMS or Amarok
- System Monitor (CPU, Network, Heat)
- Monitor Email, News, RSS feed
- Animated Menu Bars
- Weather Information
- Toolbars
There are hundreds of different widgets to choose from and many new ones are added often. I currently use 3 plugins, but it’s hard not to clutter up the desktop with many more. You can find all the widgets at KDE-LOOK.org
- Tight-n-Burn
- LiquidAmarok
- Liquid Weather
Hans Karlsson created Karamba as a school project in March 2003. The application was uploaded to kde-look where it became very popular. The project required quite a bit of attention thereafter so Hans handed the project over to the opensource community. Adam Geitgey took ownership of the project, which is how the name SuperKaramba came about. Adam had worked on the project until April 2005 adding new features and patches from other developer. Now, with SuperKaramba in the hands of a group developers, it has been included in a KDE 3.5.
