Kolombo is a superkaramba theme that provide a way to embed an image identified by an url in your widget.

The image is fetched periodically, and stored in a configurable size local repository. Optionally the image can be processes before to be stored in the repository by a user script.

It is possible to browse the image repository using the mouse wheel as well a navigation toolbar.

The image informations are embedded in the .theme file.
