- Added python script, which uses the pyxmms extension. Xmmsctrl is now obsolete. - New functions, such as Drag 'n Drop, and mouse wheel seeking. - Made the interface even more simple
I'm sorry, but I dunno if you know about this.. I just updated my version of SuperKaramba to 0.33, cos the liquis weather thing didn't work with 0.32 and now this theme doesn't appear on the screen... I simply can't see it anywhere
Sorry for the late answer, guess you've solved the problem by now.
Anyway, I don't know why it disappeared. Try removing al the smpl config files and restart the app. Maybe that helps.
Well thanks for the ideas.
Actually, I think the pyid3v2 module will be most useful, because it's easy to implement in superkaramba.
So, give me some time, and I will see what I can do...
It appears that when I use this theme, the default font verdana gets overriden by luxi sans. Therefore when you ARE using verdana, the placement of the text (especially the time) is probably wrong.
I've adjusted it now (as of v 1.1.2), but I'd like to ask people to post their experiences: are the time and title text fields nicely centered?
I like this theme - like many other xmms-themes for superkaramba - but there's still one thing I've never seen on any of these: The Ability of viewing the id3v2 Comment- and Cover-Tag. Maybe someone has a hint for me how to implement this.
The way karamba displays the title depends on the xmms session name. An example of a xmms session name is:
"XMMS - 118. Stereophonics - Lying in the Sun (4:31)"
So because xmms only displays the artist, album etc tags in it's session name, so does karamba.
I guess you would need something like a python module which is able to read all the id3v2 tags, although I don't know if one exists.
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.

roog, perhaps this may help you: http://search.cpan.org/~lbrocard/MP3-ID3Lib-0.12/ID3Lib.pm It's the mp3-id3lib module from cpan.

Now, this is pytagger (formely pyid3v2). http://www-lce.eng.cam.ac.uk/~acnt2/code/pytagger/ I just like to point this site.

I'm not sure if this is right, but sounds good to me: http://www-lce.eng.cam.ac.uk/~acnt2/code/pyid3v2/
