Well done.

I especially like the system tray notification.
However, I wanted a more integrated solution for my KDE4 desktop, so, I created a plasmoid ^^

Anyone who wants it can download it here:

I tried to it with superkaramba (i use kde 3 by now :P), but it didnt work, the same with, opera widgets and firefox... so i made my own app

I am using openSuSE 11

I tried to create a Superkaramba widget aswell, long time ago, but I failed, mostly because of my lack of knowledge about python
The Plasmoids however can be created using Java, C++, or whatever you like.

Check my source for example.

You will need Qt4 and KDE4.1 + their development packages.
You can extract the package with

tar -xf ./warstatus.tar

I get this on my ubuntu installation aarlick:

panoramix-miraculix@druid:~$ java -jar /home/panoramix-miraculix/RO_MAP/RO_MAP.jar
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/panoramix-miraculix/conf/config.xml (No such file or directory)

Why doesnt it check in its own directory, but searches for it in my home dir? oO

hmmmm maybe because i did not cd to that directory but run it from the terminal, pwd would be ~, not ~/RO_MAP :/

you have to run it from the folder of the app

example:

cd ~/RO_MAP
java -jar RO_MAP.jar

if not the program search the files in current directory.. but they arent there

hm, so if i want to launch it on startup I have to make a bash script like this?

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/RO_MAP
java -jar RO_MAP.jar

and add that script on my startup session?

yes. the script is ok (remember that you must do it executable, chmod +x script.sh). if you want to run it at startup of kde put a sym link like this:

ln -s ~/bin/ro_map_script.sh ~/.kde/Autostart/

i dont know how to do it with gnome
