OK, I will play a bit with this, it may not be too much work to make it
smaller, but I was wanting the 10 most recent advisories ...

Yeah, I was trying to reduce it's impact, I almost made it a shadow
effect like the mandrakesecure text. The actual problem is no
vector-based (or layered) original graphic available (so I'm stuck with
the aliasing of the white background it was on). I will take a look at
the bootsplash stuff ... but I don't have photoshop, and the Gimp only
shows the same logo I used in Brant's psd files ...

Brant, it would help me if you could just make a png file available of
the star (no shadow) you use ...

Biststream Vera Sans Mono. I wanted a fixed width font so the advisory
numbers would line up. Any bigger, and the advisories are too wide (even
with this very narrow font ...)

Not in the superkaramba source package. I can patch the theme a bit to
put it somewhere else. I could also include a different theme instead
for this, maybe:

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6977
?

I just wanted to show as much as possible about karamba by default,
without including other themes (instead package a few extra themes).

Maybe I should just remove it from the default theme?

Thanks for the feedback ...

Regards,
Buchan
