Description: glass_bar_panel theme for KAramba ( http://www.efd.lth.se/~d98hk/karamba/ )
This is based on the iconbar from the glass_panel theme by aaronjb; all I've done is some cutting and pasting. It sits at the bottom of the desktop where the panel normally is. This theme file only includes the iconbar. If you want the main bar from the glass_panel theme (which I recommend), grab it at http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5601.
It's made for 1280*1024 resolution but should work with other with editing of the .theme file X/Y coordinates.
To install, just untar into a directory of your choice and select the theme in the karamba file select dialogue.
A word of warning, the button on the far right executes the command "halt" so if you press it by accident you'll have a slight wait before you can get on with what you were doing ;-)
Any questions/suggestions leave a comment on the board.
How could you browse disks and directories from the panel? is this a feature of the current CVS?
Also is there a way to prevent that Karamba gets covered by windows(to make it act like a real panel)?
No, it's the KDE 3.1 that ships with mandrake 9.1. The panel just has a load of quick browsers pointing to various drives/directories.
Right click on the panel, go to "add", "special button", "quickbrowser".
I don't know if there's any way to keep karamba on top of other windows. I'll look into it.
There is a workaround; create a new panel and position it in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Set "percentage of desktop width to use" to 1%, and remove the hide buttons. Make sure there is nothing actually in the panel. Set the size to about 64 pixels. Now there's a very thin strip of panel in the bottom left corner that will prevent windows from covering up the karamba icon bar.
good! thanks
but i was thinking of something better, maybe coded into karamba(maybe an option into the theme file that says when a panel need to be uncovered by windows)
Karamba is a great piece of software that IMHO could substitute(or get integrated with) kdesktop, and can throw away the awful(but in some cases still useful) kicker
Ps also a system tray sensor is appreciated :-))))

Great idea. It's good to see people getting use out of the glass bar theme.
