Good morning,

a couple of months ago i ported partially some superkaramba themes to TDE, like "Liquid Weather ++" and "paddock".

I stopped working on my own themes and the one i ported, in favor of "Pfau" a desktop widget and panel engine, based upon TQt3, i'm currently working on.

Pfau widgets are written in Python using object-oriented programming.

Liquid Weather ++ is working under TDE, but some or all of the weather data source backends seems to be broken. Maybe the format changed or the data source is no longer available? I didn't investigated that.

If i found the source code you can have it and if you're familiar with Python fix the issue(s) with the weather data sources on your own.

Or you wait until i release Pfau with a weather-widget ;-)

Kind Regards,

Richard Lamboj

Hi,

The Superkaramba themes were available up to 3-4 years ago on kde-look.org, but time has passed...

Look here:

Does anyone know of a weather-related superkaramba theme that works with TDE?

In fact, that leads to a more general question: where can I find a library of superkaramba themes that actually work with TDE?

There was patch to kweather as the source changed, perhaps it is the same issue there

I wouldn't be surprised. Trying to keep up with the changes in the formats used by servers to deliver data (of almost any kind) can turn out to consume far more time than it ought. Rare is the service that decides on a format and then doesn't tinker with it. Without an active developer to track and handle these changes, clients soon become useless :-( I know, because for a few projects I am the "active developer".

FYI: in this case they just changed the URL and the URL was/is hardcoded in the application (kweather) which shouldn't be, it might be same with those older themes

If only it were always that easy :-)
