Description Janet 2009-07-05 12:50:39 UTC
Version:           KDE 4.3 RC (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When it's dark outside I prefer a dark wallpaper, when it's sunny I'm irritated with a night scene. There's the weather wallpaper which really is nice. Would it be possible to create a time of day wallpaper too with e.g. daybreak, forenoon, noon, afternoon, evening, night?
Comment 1 Janet 2010-08-12 23:37:11 UTC
There are two time of day wallpaper plugins at kde-look.org:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Day+and+Night+Wallpaper?content=118636 & 
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/TimeWP?content=118586

Maybe one of those could be added to the default set of wallpaper plugins?

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
