You can get the current situation and forecast for today and the next 3 days.
Also the small images are downloaded from Google.
You can change:
- The location name
- The google URL for your country. And note that this automatically changes the localization
Still to do:
- Error handling (e.g. location not found...)
- Handle cases when strings are too big and go out of the background
- Translate the time format to the current time, using the timezone
- Add version information and "about".
This is my very first KDE and/or Karamba widget...
It's actually a prototype .
I hope you like it anyway.

: Reverting to version 0.2. Google is now including the "ig" directory in the image path: so we don't need to add it anymore. (It's difficult to keep up with their changes: I'll try to contact someone...)

Hi, I use your theme to improve mine (cf. http://tinyurl.com/superlight) but since KDE4 on every restart of superkaramba all my panel forgot their positions and cities name. I tried with your last theme and you've the same issue ? Did you know how to solve it ? Regards.
Hi, I don't seem to have this problem in my environment, with googleweather. The city names, in my case, are saved by means of karamba.writeConfigEntry(), and therefore go to the config file that is ~/.superkaramba/theme_name.rc. Could you check if such a file is created? Regards Pier
I got this file, but only one and I think that's the problem cause I launch 4 'instances' of google-weather, on 4 different locations so I should have 4 config file.
Thank You !
This GoogleWeather variation contains only essential information, so takes less desktop space. The text and icons are also larger for visibility on bigger monitors.

Doesn't work on my Debian 4.1.3: SuperKaramba cannot continue to run this theme.One or more of the required components of the Kross scripting architecture is not installed. Please consult this theme's documentation and install the necessary Kross components. What's wrong? Greez
I had that problem also on my environment, for other widgets using python. It seems to depend on a missing library: krosspython.so. On Fedora 9, I could solve it by installing a package named "kdebindings". I hope this helps for you. Thanks for the feedback. Pier
Thanx for the fast reply!I'm on Debian Sid with KDE 4 from experimetnal. There's just a package named "kdebindings-java". I installed that but it doesn't work! Hmm, what else could be the problem? Greez
Hi, I think that the right package for Debian could be "python-kde4" or "kdebindings". I don't think java is involved here. Let me know... Thanks Pier
Yep, now it works! Thanx for help and for this Karamba-Widget! Greez
