Marcio, please take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/FAQ there are instructions on how to replace explorer shell with plasma-desktop.
I believe that it would be good if there wold be some compatibility layer to bring KDE window decorations and some other things into mswindows' window manager ( I believe it's dwm.exe ), but since kwin is much related to X11, I agree porting kwin is unfortunately a _very hard_ task, however bb4win/emergedesktop/cairo code should give some hints on how to do so. -- Andrius. 2009/7/21 Eduard Sukharev <[email protected]> > On Tuesday 21 of July 2009 10:13:26 Marcio Esper wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I would to know if it is possible replace the explorer for the plasma to > > use it as the defult window manager over the windows. > > > > Thz for attention, > > > > Best regards, > Hi > > 1) There's no point in replacing explorer by plasma since Plasma lacks > implementation of such vital plasmoids as TaskList and SystemTray.
