Animated GIF wallpaper for KDE Plasma 5

Demo Video

  • 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.gif with your animated gif of choice. You may need to tweak the image dimensions a bit in contents/ui/main.qml.

Plasma Desktop Settings

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 uses formAlignment, which is available in the context that it's used in but will make qmlscene complain. That's normal.
  • May need to logout then login again for the updated main.qml to take effect. Or try removing all *.qmlc files.
