Hi,

I am a Slackware 10.2 user with xFCE 4.4 as my window manager. I installer SuperKaramba 0.39 and it was installer perfectly however themes seem to run extremely slow, say for example the marvelous Slickbar, it takes minutes to load the images ( that's when they are loaded, most of the time they do not even show up and only the bar shape is drawn but not the contents ) I am guessing I have a refreshment issue or something alike but I started wondering if perhaps SuperKaramba or maybe individual themes have minimum requirements. I am running a slow PC but xFCE seems to work fine with every other application.

Opinions, experiences ? All help is appreciated!!

Thanks a lot,

Paulo.

Superkaramba is really meant for KDE, so running it outside KDE will slow things down a bit. You could try gdesklets or adesklets.

Fair enough! thanks for the answer reddazz. I see there are some very nice desklets as well so I will go ahead and try those!

It is meant for KDE and I've ran it on a 500mhz laptop fairly responsively. Not being on KDE doesn't mean it will be slower, but things won't display as cleanly as they do on KDE.

I should have been more specific. Starting superkaramba and its themes in KDE will be a lot faster than in any other DE or WM because the required libs will have been loaded when KDE starts.

Agreed, that is a bit more explanatory.
