Eyes on Karamba

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-puns-ahoy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "dot.kde.org posted an interview with Hans Karlsson, the author of the now pretty popular KDE clone of Samurize, Karamba, which is responsible for the recent craze at kdelook.org. An interesting interview well worth a read which shows that even today most open source programs still start as tiny hobby projects after all."

    I can't reach that link right now but from my recollection, isn't this program very much like the Microsoft "Active Desktop" feature from years back which pretty much bombed among the users?

    To think that I was under the impression that the desktop was the thing I never see (save a 1mmx1mm blue corner at the bottom of my screen) under my hundreds of windows.

    I really don't understand why people want to use their desktops for pretty pictures or, worse, interfaces. Don't they have windows open?
