Description: It's a fusion between CDKase and STH Amarok and adapted to glassfield and some other plasma themes, for best integrate in your KDE 4 desktop.
Hi,
This plasmoid is great. However, everytime I restart X, it goes back to its original size 400x200. I modified by myself kembru.rc but it doesn't do anything. Do I need to extract the skz and scale everything myself?
I am using Kubuntu 8.10.
Nice now-playing widget :) Looks great, especially with a transparant theme like glassified or naked!
Just wondering if it would be possible for a next version where it would also display the star-rating? And preferably set the rating as well?
works great on fedora 9 with kde 4.1
I wasn't going to download this at first, but when i saw that you were playing Kamelot in the preview picture, i kinda had to. March of Mephisto is probably their best song EVER.
Great plasmoid, and rock on.
Just one problem. If an album title or artist name or song title is too long, it runs off the side of the plasmoid. I managed to cut these down and add an elipsis if the data is too long, but I had to write a script and call it from the theme file. It's only one line of bash script, but I couldn't get it to work right if I put it directly in the .theme. Anyway, here it is. Hopefully you can incorporate it.
if [ `dcop amarok player album | wc -c` -lt 36 ]; then echo `dcop amarok player album`; else echo -n `dcop amarok player album | cut -c -32`; echo ...; fi
This works when placed in the theme file:
Replace this:
dcop amarok player album
With this:
if [ `dcop amarok player album | wc -c` -lt 36 ]; then echo `dcop amarok player album`; else echo `dcop amarok player album | cut -c -32`...; fi
I like this a lot. It's just what I've been looking for for my desktop. Also, nice weather plasmoid :-).
Once thing, where did you get the icons in your folderview for movies? Those look like some of the original concept designs for the Oxygen icons that I like MUCH better than the ones that are currently in KDE4. Could you tell me where I can get those style folder icons?
Again, great work!!
Thanks all.
Icon theme, i downloaded that theme with a script: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/fixed+oxygen+icon+script?content=65565

but how can I install it? I'm sorry but I'm not very good at linux.

Thanks!! The script doesn't appear to be working for me. Could you possibly post the icons?
Hi, The plasmoid looks good, but the wallpaper is great. Where can I find it ? Thanks Raymond
