Don't worry, SuperKaramba will be still around for a while.

As Chani wrote it is possible to run SuperKaramba themes in Plasma without 
changing the themes.

I just looked into your theme and saw that it uses PyQt3. Unfortunately this 
doesn't work because it is not possible to load the Qt3 library into a Qt4 
app, which SuperKaramba now is.

So what you have to do, is to port your theme to PyQt4. The first step is to 
change 'from qt import *' to 'from PyQt4 import *'. The rest should be very 
easy.

Another problem is the switch from DCOP to DBUS. I am not sure yet how big the 
change is. If you think this is too much work for you, you might want to 
consider writing a Plasma Widget. This has the advantage of being future 
proof.

If you need some help with this just drop me a mail!
