guys, I have written this multiple times:
- KWin still includes exactly the same window decoration as the one
used by TWin
- all your configuration dialogs are basically unchanged - you can
continue to use them
Ok, now I got that point. For those without fear - and running wheezy in a test environment:
# apt-get install kde-window-manager $ export KDEWM=/usr/bin/kwin $ export WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/startkde $ startx
The window decorations are not the same, I got a light 1px border on my dark theme, although most of my setting is quoted. Side effects like semitransparent windows when moving, some strange behavour when moving a window to the screens top, but basicly it works. It's not as slugish as KDE4 but clearly slower than twin.
I am couriouse, if that works on other distos, too.
Besides from the proof of principle, I still do not see why anybody would like to jettison twin.
I don't know how often I have to write it: TWin and KWin are the same window manager.
The only difference is that KWin uses Qt 4 which is not visible when configured correctly (we already discussed that in this thread, haven't we?)
Yes, but where's the point? twin works and is fast. Why change?
