<q>How do I get rid of the KDE taskbar? Do I have to keep kicker running?
<a>Many themes depend on kicker and will not work well without it. If you don't want kicker to show on your desktop, you can set it to auto-hide.

<dt><b><aname="General1">2.2. Can I run a systray theme while the kicker systray is running?</a></b></dt>
<dd>It's better not to. If you run a theme with a SysTray on it while a regular kicker systray is running, the theme will "steal" all the icons from the first systray. This is because in KDE and Gnome, the systray icons are really little windows and there is only one copy of each running. If you want to run a systray theme, you can remove the systray from kicker.<br><br></dd>

However, if the theme does use a python script, superkaramba may have not been able to load the script. This is usually due to python errors.

<dd>In KDE, transparency only works when the desktop background is a wallpaper image that is centered or scaled. If the background is a plain color or a tiled image then superkaramba themes will not be transparent. In Gnome, there is a known issue that themes will have a black background even when a wallpaper is set. Unfortunately there is no current solution. Your theme should work fine otherwise.<br><br></dd>
