This is a project which aims to recreate the look and feel of Windows 7 as much as possible on KDE Plasma, whilst adapting the design to fit in with modern features provided by KDE Plasma and Linux. It is still in heavy development and testing. ATP has been tested on:
- Arch Linux x64 and other Arch derivatives, KDE Neon
- Plasma 6.2.2, KDE Frameworks 6.7.0, Qt 6.8.0
- 96 DPI scaling, multi monitor
This release is meant for early adopters, debuggers and developers alike. This port lacks certain components which still need to be ported over to KDE Plasma 6. I am not responsible for broken systems, please proceed with caution.
See INSTALL.md for a really quick, half baked and incomprehensive installation guide. The rest of the project and the appropriate complete documentation will be available in due time.
The Plasma 5 version of ATP is available as a tag in this repository, however it is unmaintained and no longer supported.
