Hi! I've fixed some issues we found today in here (Randa), and now I think we can consider to put it in kde-workspace so it can be polished for 4.10. Also it would be interesting if somebody with taste and a good sense of beauty took a chance with it, so that it can be showcased without burning your retina. Good night! Aleix PD: if you want to try it: git clone kde:scratch/apol/qmlwallpapers _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
