Hi Matěj!

Thank you very much for your feedback. :-)

That's great! I will ask the designer of our website to create a 
"scripted service" and get it to kde-apps.org. I think he can do it.

I will forward your e-mail to him because I'm not so good concerning 
JavaScript. ;-)

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
Marco
