We have already ported a few in the past. Nevertheless it requires quite a bit of work. If you can provide the link to publicly available GPL2/3 source code, we can look into it at some point. Cheers Michele. Alright then! I suppose the starting point for me would be Fahrenheit for KWin. Only problem is its source code seems to be public domain in the sense of its creator going "it's 2007, I can't maintain it anymore, the Unlicense doesn't exist yet, and Creative Commons licenses weren't as widespread as to extend to code, so here's a general 'provided as-is' warning on the header file and a note on the OpenDesktop listing." https://www.trinity-look.org/p/1100374 If I can offer other suggestions, then as mentioned before, openSUSE's KDE3 repo is still being maintained even now. It's not much, but I'm sure some Trinity-Look sleuthing and such could aid matters with regards to licenses and all. I'll link the source repo specific to Tumbleweed below. https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/sr… Appreciate all the work that's put into something as niche as TDE! Keep it up! - hunter graham
