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.
