Also some people run they desktops in greater resolution and bigger font 
sizes. Current SK themes don't work well in those environments.

With signal / slot mechanism we could maybe use Qt designer to make most basic 
themes by just placing widgets and connecting signals / slots. One thing that 
SuperKaramba has been missing is a graphical editor for themes.

I'm just hoping that plasmoids api allows me (or someone else) to port 
existing SK to it. It seems that new 'SK' is not going to be anywhere near 
backwards compatible, so I would like to see a special plasmoid that can run 
old themes. I would actually like to drop karamba name, it just confuses me 
and start using plasmoids or something...
