I believe it has been expressed that the overall philosophy with Plasma is that if you have 3d-compositing capability, you get compositing features. If you do not, then you don't. There will be no clever hacks to enable such effects in a non-composited environment.
I remember that there is a post on Aaron Seigo's blog (http://aseigo.blogspot.com) regarding this, but I do not remember the exact post. I do wish that there were non-composited ways to add a touch of flare to your KDE desktop, however; for example, the ability to color-tint the current plasma theme (similar to what Vista does for the Aero interface's taskbar) would be nice, as opposed to merely having one color hardcoded in a plasma theme. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
