Karamba Replica is a KDE program that can display a lot of various information right on your desktop.
This cool stuff is based on Hans Karlsson's Karamba http://www.efd.lth.se/~d98hk/karamba/.
There's allready a fork of Karamba named SuperKaramba, but it's based on python script usage and i'm intend to limit it to optimized QT-KDE code.
I've begun my work by adding some new capabilities to Karamba like Text scrolling, enhancing the XMMS sensor with reading ID3 and Vorbis tags, etc... And last, i deciede to make an easy to use theme creator!
So now here is my first stable release:

Latest Version (KDE 3)
