KDE4 composite in KDE3.5

[garry_3peace]

I just wonder, is there any posibility to use KDE 4 composite effects in KDE 3.5 ? I have installed KDE 4 to see how good is it... (So far so good, but I still prefer KDE 3.5) In KDE 3.5 there is menu to configure KDE 4. But seems only effect to KDE 4. So anybody have idea? Force the KDE 3.5 to use the KDE 4 composite?

Try this.

K Menu -> Run ->

kwin-kde4 --replace

That should load the KDE4 KWin, with all of the compositing effects.

Cool. That is so Cool. I also noticed that Adept Notifier did the same thing when KWIN-KDE4 was run and is similar to Compiz. It jumps out of the System Bar onto the Desktop. Odd again, run Kopete like I do under Compiz and it goes back to normal.
