Submitted: Jan 2 2010

Description:

Plasmoid showing Star Trek Quotes on your Desktop.

At the moment, most of the shown quotes are imported from the fortune-sources. New quotes can easily be added and will be in the near future.

Fortune itself has not to be installed since Version 0.4. Please make sure, that you uninstall the plasmoid first, when updating from 0.3 to 0.4 - this can be done in terminal using the command below.

Install via:

plasmapkg -i startrekfortune.plasmoid

Uninstall by:

plasmapkg -r startrekfortune

The used Communicator Logo and the Federation Emblem are under CC and taken from here:

It's beautiful, but please, add options!

For example, I've added
self.setBackgroundHints(Plasma.Applet.NoBackground)
in order to be more elegant on my desktop ;-)

Let the user choose fonts, colors, backround type... and svg to display.

Many thanks :)

thanks for this awesome plasmoid script!

i have two requests:

1. could you add an option to configure the update interval?

2. i don't know if this is possible right now, but could it be expanded to include quotes from all of trekdom and not just TOS?

Hi there!

I am lucky you like it :)

In the next release you will be able to change the update time.

Actually i am not very glad with the star trek quotes in fortune. I realized, that some of them are extremely long and can not be shown completely :(

I am looking for another resource for star trek quotes at the moment. Any ideas?

I think you are right. I guess i will take the quotes from fortune categorize them and add further quotes from wikiquote and memory alpha to make them more complete.

This will also make the plasmoid independent from the installation of fortune.

Okay. It is done.

I imported the quotes and added some quotes. This can now be done very easily. No programming knowledge needed. If anybody is willing to collect some quotes, just contact me.

Update interval can now be chosen in the plasmoid options.

There is a bug with font colors. Do these steps to recreate:
1. Add widget do desktop
2. Change TextColour to white
3. Change DropShadow color to black
4. Log out
5. Log in you will see that DropShadow has reverted to white

can you please fix this, i love your plasmoid by the way.

Oh. And please uninstall the plamsmoid first, before installing. Otherwise updating from 0.3 to 0.4 might not work. Not sure why. I experience problems here.

KDE-Look sometimes behaves strange. When i upload a new file it takes up to some hours until they are available in GHNS.

I tried installing it via GHNS right now and it worked well.

Hi there!

Thanks a lot. I uploaded Version 0.6 which now explizitly transforms characters to UTF-8. Greek letter from the quote-files should now be displayed correctly.

But the files themselves need to be encoded UTF-8.

If you want to add quotes or replace the ones from the plugin, you just have to modify the files. You can delete the existing files and replace them by others, too. Lines starting with '%' are separators.

The quote-files can be found in the /contents/code/quotes - directory.

BTW: If anybody is willing to add some Star Trek quotes, just let me know.
