Sorry I havn't been maintaining this Karamba and replying to your comments, I was working on quite a few things for v2.0 but lost my entire 250GB HD and got annoyed with it
If any of you still need the dark wallpaper, you can get it from my server here:
http://life.tlm-project.org/EEVOblack.jpg
As mentioned previously, this is a work from Shadowness, all I did was play with the colour balancing to fit my desktop theme (which by the way is the KDE Iron theme if any of you need it).
If any of you want to make any changes to this project and fork it, please feel free, I really don't have the time lately to do anything with it.
I may pick it back up sometime and implement the changes you guys have been suggesting, I especially agree with klepto about the display buttons being kinda choppy, I created those last and was getting tired at the time, so rushed them a little, that would be the first thing I would focus on if I release v2.0
Anyway, I thank you all for your kind words about the theme, if you need anything, give me a mail.
lovin it...but have a couple of questions. in the hard drive monitor section the only thing that is working is the root mon. i have tried changing the mountpoints for the home dir with no sucess how should i change these settings to mon my home dir? also could this section be used to mon my usb stick drive when its connected, it shows up as /sda1 and mounted under media usb-blablabla
found the solution from a post for another theme that had a clock.....just tack ap or AP behind the hh:mm:ss. ap=small am/pm AP=large AM/PM. also you will want to take off one of the h in hh unless you want your time to look like this 06:00am/pm vs. 6:00am/pm
Looking very nice; only thing I had a problem with was the IP Address. Looking in the script I see you've linked to a program in /home/life..
Anyhow, if you replace that with something like: sensor=program program="/sbin/ip addr show eth0 | grep 'inet ' | cut -d t -f2 | cut -d / -f1 | cut -b 2-"
This line works if you are using pppoe.
sensor=program program="/sbin/ip addr show ppp0 | grep 'inet' | cut -d t -f2 | cut -d / -f1 | cut -b 2- | cut -b -14"
I cut the peer ip info. Now if I could just figure out how to get the xmms portion of ubermon working correctly. Any hints anyone?
XMMS control buttons don't work for me. I think it's possible that I'm missing some sort of module. The Titke and play time work just fine. Also for my harddrive I get /4257 MB
but for /home /hda1 /hda2 I get 0 mb. Suggestions?
This is a great theme and I think it'd be perfect if you added wireless strength bar to it.
Yes, this is one great karamba theme!
One comment, though: If one wants to see his IP address shown in the according line, he has to change the path to the file "ipadd.pl" to the correct location (i.e. in the folder where it is to be found on the users machine) in "ubermon.theme".
At least, now you get the message "Not found" - just like me... ;)

I really like the plugin, but I modified it, so that it fits to my needs. It now uses the amarok output: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/5210/ubermonsr8.png
Nothing to do with the script itself (wich is great), but where can I get this wallpaper? :P

FUCKING AWSOME

Oh , one other thing I just noticed, if you could get the title for XMMS to scroll when it's long, that'd be awesome too.

I dont know if its just me, but the display buttons are kind of choppy. Not a very clean cut if you will. But overall, a very nice theme.
