Hi! I have problem. I wanted to replace my kicker with some mac OS X superkaramba themes but it does not seem to be usable. First of all my kicker is autohide. When I put there superkar. and configure to automaticly hide and be always on top the results are bad. It seems like karamba takes background image as background to panel instead of current application window. It looks very ugly. I want superkaramba to take my window as background, what should I do?
thx!

Implement full alpha-transparency into X.
Currently it is not possible to have real alpha-transparency. Superkaramba uses only pseudotransparency (ie: it copies the desktop background into its widget), like all other apps which have a similar effect.
Maybe it will be possible with XFree 5 or 6 or never.
> How did you set superkaramba to be always on top?
In the *.theme file append
ontop = true
to the line which starts with
karamba

move your panel out of the way, ie. to a different edge of the screen
How did you set superkaramba to be always on top?
