One step forward, two back.  From googling I tried 'karamba' in krunner, and 
sure enough it brought up superkaramba which allowed me to select 
Automatik.theme, which then appeared on a list of available themes.  I chose 
Install to Desktop, and got a large translucent panel, full height of the 
screen and about 20% of the width.  Two of them, stacked, in fact.  (I also 
got two Activity Bars in addition to the normal hiding one).  The translucent 
panels don't have any obvious handles or configuration options.  I've closed 
one of them, but I'm left with this huge stripe that does nothing.  Perhaps 
it's time to ask the developer for help.
