Hi Hunter, it should definitely be possible to port old KDE3/KWin styles to TDE. 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."

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/src/ <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/src/>

Appreciate all the work that's put into something as niche as TDE! Keep it up!

Quick look into the source code seems to indicate there is no license file and since the author mentioned it is up for grab for anyone who wish to use/develop it, I think we can definitely looking into adding this to TDE. Not sure we will manage to get this into R14.1.1 though, since there is no much time left for it.
Cheers
