Introduction

Kuote is an applet for the KDE panel, inspired by Gnome's Wanda the Fish. It displays an animated character (a fish by default), which pops up quotes generated by the fortune(6) program when clicked (and optionally shows them in tooltips, too).

The homepage of Kuote is http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=18046

KIOSlave support

Kuote supports kioslaves for both the animation file and fortune files (fortune directories still work from local filesystems only). This means that you can enter any URL, not only local file names. Try for example this fortune file available over WWW: http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~mikosmul/computing/inet-fortune It contains only two quotes, so for testing purposes use it as the only fortune file or assign it a high probability if you want to actually see these fortunes.

Note that if you make fortunes available on the Web or any other medium, you need to make both the fortune file and the corresponding .dat index file available. However, you should only enter the former one in the configuration dialog box - the other one will be downloaded automatically.
