The icons enlarge and they aren't "hardcoded" anymore, so you can change them easily in the Python file.
Currently waiting for the next superkaramba release, which will *hopefully* include drag'n'drop and a tray. kickbar will be a kicker replacement then!
If anyone is interested, I could try to tidy up the script (
) and upload it (xmms version, but there should be no problem changing it.)

i like your modifications, but the d-load link is broken. anyway why dont you work together with optiksmoke to implement your changes in the original project this will be much better!!!!!!! you will have your stuff further distributed and have new versions with your stuff and the themes dont fork off causing the usual stuff... think about it!
the download link is broken
it's fixed now but it's still just a screenshot until systray and taskbar is included in karamba :(
so, is anyone here so keen and writes a tiny app which does nothing except from showing the desktop??
Does anybody, by chance, know the code for showing the desktop / hiding all windows (dcop maybe) ?? And does anybody know the params to call
Take a look at 'kdcop' to browse the various DCOP options. I looked under both the kwin and kdesktop entries and didn't find anything, but maybe you'll have better luck. As for starting an application without a title bar, try 'kstart --type Override [app_name]'. Unfortunately, this does not seem to accept the standard X '-geometry' string. I don't know of any way to specify where a window should appear in KDE, except by saving the window position (window menu -> Store Window Settings). However, you need to first start the program, move it to where you want it, then save its settings.
Unfortuntatly, a dcop interface to this doesn't not exist yet (submit a feature wish to bugs.kde.org) However, it's quite easy to do within C++.. look at kdebase/kicker/core/showdesktop.cpp
Hopefully karamba supports hiding the desktop too at some point :)
