A viewer for today's xkcd comic

README

To configure this desklet, edit the metadata.json file.

The "quality" can be:

0: Fastest rendering will use nearest neighbour interpolation when rendering. good setting.
1: Higher quality rendering without using extra resources.
2: Render the texture with the best quality available using extra memory.

I don't like that it doesn't keep the size the same. Some of the comics literally fill my whole screen. Doesn't work for a widget.

I can't see the tooltip messages, which often contain the real punchline. This really takes away the XKCD-ness for me.

Yes, likewise ... a workaround could be a context-menu to open the xkcd.com url for the given comic so that it can be seen ...

Works with LM 19. Great work! Could implement a "show random xkcd" feature when right clicked?

Ah, I see the developer of this Desklet is a man of culture as well. Thanks, works smooth.

Great one. Only downside is that it doesn't respect scaling on hi-dpi displays. Any chance of getting a fix? Could it be done via editing .local/share/cinnamon/desklets/xkcd@rjanja/stylesheet.css?
