I'd love to see a description of the animation and/or a screenshot or two :D

(i'm curious but have little time to test this myself)

... and got it working. Cool!

Can't get the present windows clone to work, even trying to follow the same tricks, however :(

There's not a lot to see really ;) It's just kind of slow motion, as you would imagine. Looks very nice and only takes a couple of minutes to copy the files over - give it a whirl.

plasmapkg --type kwinscript -i 154858-presentwindowsclone.kwinswitcher

Your mistake was the type "kwinscript", it's type "kwineffect"

There's a bug in plasmapkg. Only plasmapkg as of current master can install the script. You can manually copy the files to the right location. The content should go to ~/.kde/share/apps/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_maximize/ and the metadata.desktop should be copied in addition to ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/kwin/kwin4_effect_maximize.desktop

you need to copy the whole "contents/" folder to the mentioned location.. not just the "code/" folder or the "maximize.js" .. everything..

plasmapkg did it right but created a "scripts" folder instead of the "effects" folder..
