This is not something we really want to do. If anyone wants to submit a wallpaper, and it's good quality and the person will maintain it, that'd be fine. Adding a whole slew of wallpapers to Plasma from a 3rd party site isn't. That would really only open us up to shipping every single photo in the world, because somebody likes it.

I think it's easy enough to add your own wallpapers, they can be done by a 3rd party.

I believe the purpose of this report was to write a Wallpaper plugin that would fetch those images through the linked API, slideshow style even.
Comment 3 Richard Bos 2016-08-08 14:10:46 UTC
Indeed Martin.

My idea is not to include each and every wallpaper, but to offer the source via ( wallpaper ) plugin(s).  Either by making it easily available to the user, or as a dynamic wallpaper.

Ah. Why in progress though? Who is working on it?
