Could that be a problem, or is KWin no fun without any L&Fs installed, anyway, even without that change?</p></pre>

Verbatim quote from the draft:</p>
<blockquote style="text-rendering: inherit;padding: 0 0 0 1em;border-left: 1px solid #bbb;white-space: normal;margin: 0 0 0 0.5em;line-height: inherit;">
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The change has also some implications for users of non Plasma desktop environments wanting to use KWin as their window manager. By moving the switchers out, KWin removes some of the Plasma dependencies. All switchers provided by KWin are using Plasma components, the default switcher is part of the design concept for Plasma 5 following the same idea as other similar components. Thus KWin had a direct dependency on Plasma with the window switchers. This is now kind of solved by not offering any switcher at all.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">My suggestion for desktop environment projects wanting to use KWin is to provide their own default Look'n'Feel package with a Window and Desktop switcher specific for their environment. On the other hand I don't see a problem with providing a simple fallback theme in KWin. And of course there are still the Desktop Effects for switching between Windows (CoverSwitch and FlipSwitch) installed by default and just need to be enabled.</p>
