Plasmoid showing Star Trek Quotes on your Desktop.
At the moment, most of the shown quotes are imported from the fortune-sources. New quotes can easily be added and will be in the near future.
Fortune itself has not to be installed since Version 0.4. Please make sure, that you uninstall the plasmoid first, when updating from 0.3 to 0.4 - this can be done in terminal using the command below.
Install via:
plasmapkg -i startrekfortune.plasmoid
Uninstall by:
plasmapkg -r startrekfortune

Thanks a lot. I uploaded Version 0.6 which now explizitly transforms characters to UTF-8. Greek letter from the quote-files should now be displayed correctly.
But the files themselves need to be encoded UTF-8.
If you want to add quotes or replace the ones from the plugin, you just have to modify the files. You can delete the existing files and replace them by others, too. Lines starting with '%' are separators.
The quote-files can be found in the /contents/code/quotes - directory.
BTW: If anybody is willing to add some Star Trek quotes, just let me know.

I tried installing it via GHNS right now and it worked well.

i have two requests:
1. could you add an option to configure the update interval?
2. i don't know if this is possible right now, but could it be expanded to include quotes from all of trekdom and not just TOS?

I am lucky you like it :)
In the next release you will be able to change the update time.
Actually i am not very glad with the star trek quotes in fortune. I realized, that some of them are extremely long and can not be shown completely :(
I am looking for another resource for star trek quotes at the moment. Any ideas?

This will also make the plasmoid independent from the installation of fortune.

I imported the quotes and added some quotes. This can now be done very easily. No programming knowledge needed. If anybody is willing to collect some quotes, just contact me.
Update interval can now be chosen in the plasmoid options.

For example, I've added
self.setBackgroundHints(Plasma.Applet.NoBackground)
in order to be more elegant on my desktop ;-)
Let the user choose fonts, colors, backround type... and svg to display.
Many thanks :)
