One thing that puzzles me - on the netbook I have 'air' as a wallpaper, and a yawp plasmoid on my desktop. On my new laptop install I can't find either, despite following the links to KDE-Look.org. Seems to me that it only displays a tiny subset of what's available, and searching doesn't seem to help. What am I missing?

* For the extra wallpapers:
yum install kdebase-workspace-wallpapers
* For extra plasmoids:
yum install kdeplasma-addons
* For the yaWP plasmoid:
yum install kde-plasma-yawp
I also like this one on my panel:
yum install kde-plasma-quickaccess

Got that now, thanks.
- For extra plasmoids:
yum install kdeplasma-addons
Seems I'd already done that one ;-)
- For the yaWP plasmoid:
yum install kde-plasma-yawp
Ah yes. That rings a bell. Why is it a separate plasmoid, I wonder?
I also like this one on my panel:
yum install kde-plasma-quickaccess
I'll give it a try. Sounds a bit like a folder-view for the panel :-)
Thanks for the help

Because it is not officially part of KDE. And as they're using data sources without permission and as they're bypassing the weather framework inside Plasma (which is used by kde-plasma-weather, by the LCD Weather Station in kdeplasma-addons and probably soon other stuff too), it isn't likely to ever be.

That's a pity, because it really is so much better than the LCD weather plasmoid. I do hope someone is talking to them about the problems instead of treating them like pariahs.

notice that (at least in KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)) there are two "official" weather plasmoids: * the LCD Weather Station * the Weather Forecast this last one is IMHO better/nicer than the LCD one (though not as customizable as the yawp)... but this is all just a question of taste, my sister for example prefers much this one http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Customizable+Weather+Plasmoid+(CWP)... which I find too baroque...

Looks a little 0ver-the-top, but since it's customisable I'd like to take a look at it. I have the choice between downloading a Mandriva rpm and hoping it works with Fedora, or downloading the source to build. I assume the build process is much the same as most things, configure, make, etc., or is it? I don't even know where the plasmoid has to end up.
All advice gratefully received.
I find that there is a new weather plasmoid being offered from the distro, but the only forecast source on offer that is applicable to the uk is the BBC. The nearest station to me is 25 miles away, with completely different geography and therefore completely different weather. It is totally useless to me. Accuweather give very accurate forecasts for us.

If you want to build yourself, just read the README:
tar xvf <the package> cd <where unpacked> mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. make su -c 'make install' kbuildsycoca4
if you don't want to install all the required stuff to be able to build, you can simply try
http://arielch.fedorapeople.org/devel/rpm/i586/kde-plasma-cwp-0.9.10-1.fc11....

Did either of you have any problem re-sizing? I could re-size vertically, but not horizontally, which makes the 5-day forecast unreadable.

I'm not the developer, I just did the package (I was originally compiling it for my sister and simply making a tar out it, but an rpm is nicer to handle).

No, I didn't (though it has some issues with font size in the Spanish version - the weather description is too big, does not fit, etc.)

if you're going to build it yourself, may be it's more comfortable to download the sources directly

I am only building myself because your binaries were i586 only. I do however avoid installing stuff non-rpm at all costs because its a real bind to uninstall or update later.
Thanks for the srpm. Much appreciated

Thanks, everyone. Knowing that you were all OK, I removed the widget and removed its folder from ~/, then added it afresh. This time it's absolutely fine. I'm not sure what upset it before, but it must be something I accidentally did.

- For the extra wallpapers:

For netbook I can recommend Skulpture style as I have old EEE PC 701 with small display. It can save lot of space - you can set all spacing, sizes etc...
yum install kde-style-skulpture
And there's plasma style matching Skulpture called Atelier.
It's what I'm using right now (even on my workstation).

It came up on irc sometime last week that skulpture (at least on kde 4.3) is quite problematic. I was seeing some damaged window decorations when using skulpture and the system overall seems to feel faster (highly objective - no hard numbers) with the standard oxygen theme.
