- Fork of nhanb's version of Animated GIF Wallpaper, modified to be locked to 2k. Looking to make it more configurable in the future.
- Put this in
~/.local/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.nerdyweekly.animated. - Go to Desktop Settings, choose Wallpaper Type: Animated GIF, apply, profit.
- Optional: Go to Screen Locking and choose the same wallpaper type. Enable blur if you prefer that (I do).
- Optional: replace
contents/ui/animation.gifwith your animated gif of choice. You may need to tweak the image dimensions a bit incontents/ui/main.qml.
A bird's eye view:
- metadata.desktop: self-explanatory
- contents/ui/main.qml: how to render the wallpaper
- contents/ui/config.qml: how to render the wallpaper config window
- You can preview your QML files quickly with
qmlscene <file>.qml. Probably comes with QtCreator. Note: my config.qml usesformAlignment, which is available in the context that it's used in but will makeqmlscenecomplain. That's normal. - May need to logout then login again for the updated
main.qmlto take effect. Or try removing all*.qmlcfiles.
