Description:
A superkaramba implementation the of slicker taskbar. This one will only take of 75% (default) of the screen width, and depending on whether you change it or not (instructions on changing in python extension), only shows the windows on the virtual desktop you are viewing. Clicking the arrow on the right show/hides the desktop. The color is also a slightly lighter grayish color, but I think I'm going to create a configuration file in which you can define exactly what color you want. Last changelog:
Version 0.02:
- Font, font size, font shadow, font color, screen width, maximum width, icon directory and panelwidth now customizable via slickertask.config
- Fixed memory leaks (major speed increase)
Version 0.01:
- Initial release

hello, when I try to load This theme in superkaramba, it loads nothing - there is only space reserved on the top of the screen. What am I doing wrong?
Linux distro, qt version, superkaramba version, kde version, and python version please. Also, is it returning any errors about the python script?
OK I've maneged to do it... It was my mistake :) Thanks anyway...
No prob. Could you perhaps tell me what you did wrong so I can put something about it in the README file?
hmm i get the same problem, it loads "space" for it at the top but shows nothing. how did u fix this problem? RedHat 9 Qt: 3.1.1 KDE: 3.1-11 Red Hat karamba: 0.22b Python 2.2.2
alright fixed that problem just didnt edit that config heh.. now i do see it but only half the taskbar and my terminal gets flooded with like hundreds of: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/lynx/themes/karamba/SlickerTaskbar/SlickerTaskbar.py", line 60, in widgetUpdated karamba.deleteImage(widget,overlay) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'deleteImage' Call to widgetUpdated failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/lynx/themes/karamba/SlickerTaskbar/SlickerTaskbar.py", line 60, in widgetUpdated karamba.deleteImage(widget,overlay) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'deleteImage' Call to widgetUpdated failed so i have to kill the process and yeah i give up with this
oh boy ok that was fixed by updating superkaramba i hade v 0.22 upgraded to 0.27 heh and now it works, goodstuff. last post. :)
Also, is it possible you could increase the length of each part? So, for instance, instead of saying KDE-Look.org - M, it can say KDE-Look.org - Mozil?
The new version allows you to customize the default panel width.
Yes, I am really looking forward to Slicker. Sure, Karamba is a very good program, but it just screams ALPHA!!! to you.
I'm all for this, however I should probably point out that Slicker isn't just the taskbar ;) The taskbar in Slicker is called, tadaa, the Taskbar :) This should probably be Karamba-Slicker-Taskbar (or Karamba-SlickerTaskBar to follow the naming scheme of the post just before this one). Also, I'll just use this to say that Slicker isn't dead, there's just a lot of people doing their thing offline, coding a lot of stuff they want at least at beta quality before submitting to CVS for the world to see. This will all start to happen again the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your time, now back to your regular scheduled programme :)
True, slicker isn't just the taskbar. I'll change the description to say it is a karamba implementation of the slicker taskbar. Glad to hear slicker isn't dead... I would rather use it than this, but I was tired of slicker using the entire screen width (I have things in the upper-right-hand corner i would like to see), and I wanted to see only the things on the desktop I am on.
