Bug ID: 396622
Summary: Dynamic Background Wallpaper Plugin
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: stam...@stampernet.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Based on the idea of the dynamic background in the new macOS Mojave, I would
like to see this feature in KDE Plasma.
The idea is to define a Wallpaper (e. g. Folder with a set of images) and
change it according to the time of day. When there are 10 images in the folder,
you change the image every 24/10 = 2,4 hours. And the starting image is choosen
based on the time of day, e. g. the day goes from midnight to midnight and you
log in 12 o'clock, then you choose image 5 or 6 from the 10 images in the
folder.
This feature request can be realized by enhancing the slideshow/image wallpaper
plugin in plasma-workspace. Basically there should be no random choice of
image, but sequential choice based on the file list (one image after another)
and the starting image is chosen based on the time of day. Secondly the
intervall of image change should be calculated internally (24 hours / number of
images in folder). Finally it would be nice, but not necessary, when the
dynamic background is shown like in the image plugin not slideshow plugin
(folder view), so there is only one image, which represents a folder. The image
could have an overlay which shows that it is dynamic.
I investigated the slideshow/image plugin, but couldn't figure out where to
start, e. g. where the random choice is done.
Thank you very much.
