This is great. I absolutely can't stand the new KDE setup. If I wanted vista I would run vista, they have copied everything even the frustrations. With this info I can now upgrade to kde 4 and finally let go of kde 3.5 Thanks x 1000. Plasmoids annoy me I agree with Rich… This is great. I absolutely can’t stand the new KDE setup.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I can use KDE again. Old school is right. I've been on the desktop since '83 (IBM 3B2 300, Unix OS, with a (I think 20 meg) hard drive!!), and I just find the "new school" funky effects and visuals distracting. My computers are servants, not dancing girls. Seriously, you should really push this solution for the KDE4 haters. WOW. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I can use KDE again.

Its the best of the lot that I have found. Search for yawp in your package manager. I have found it in openSUSE, Pardus, Chakra (Arch) and Kubuntu. @microchip: The plasmoid is called yaWP (yet another weather plasmoid.) Its the best of the lot that I have found.

From where did you get it? I've tried different weather plasmoids but non offer weather outlook for more than two days like yours does. I'm currently using liquid weather (superkaramba) but I'd like to use a native plasmoid Hi,

But the performance (esp. scrolling) is still worse with older hardware. Uh..ugly. But the performance (esp. scrolling) is still worse with older hardware.
