just wondering, it it possible to use Plasma on KDE4.2.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit).

and if so, how?
I did see a video of KDE4 on 7 with plasma, was on the forum, but I don't know how that was done.


Yes my OS is set to Linux (other) even though I also use windows, but I can only pick one OS, I actually have 6 different OS's.

There is a plasma.exe in the bin folder inside your KDE-Windows installation if I recall correctly. You start that and Plasma will take over the Windows desktop.

If you want to use it all the time, you can add it to the startup applications, but you still need to have explorer running too, as Plasma's taskbar and system tray doesn't works on Windows... at least it did not, when I tried it for the last time. DWM also has to stay to provide window decorations, so you will end up with a mix between Windows and Plasma Desktop, and quite a huge memory usage. But it looks really cool

I did find "plasma-destop.exe".
it did start plasma, but it doesn't react on anything afther that.
I can open a contect-menu but that's it, it won't open anything from the menu.

except for the setting for a folder-view plamoid.
I can open those, but I don't see the plasmoid itself, I can only change it's setting.
never mind, can't start plamsa if other KDE program's are running already....
