It makes me really sad that the glorious days of superkaramba is over. So many beautifully widgets gone obsolete overnight. Plasma had some karamba support initially, but the code was not maintained (there was a leak that I tried to solve with Aaron Seigo, but we gave up eventually). Plasmoids never reached the quality and the quantity of the karamba widgets </rant> I once started developing a plasmoid based on the tutorial on the website but I never finished: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma4/GettingStarted However, after understanding the very basics I realized that for anything advanced I wanted to do I had to read the KDE source code. Maybe things changed since then. Note that the link is for KDE 4. They must have a KDE 5 version of the docs these days.
