You can't skip today's Picture of the Day wallpaper because that would require traveling into the future to get tomorrow's. :) I think in this case you have to just use a different wallpaper type until tomorrow. If there's an API for historical data, they maybe there could be a "Back to the Past" button. At least it should work until all the timezones switch to the next day. Actually I have no idea how that works in Bing, but given my experience with Time Traveling in pseudo-realtime games it doesn't sound completely unreasonable. (: Just discovered that if we restart the pc the image changes, which should mean calling the api again will result in a different picture. It's not everytime one can restart their pc especially whilst working on time intensive tasks. There could be a limit to the number of times you can do skip to another to prevent abuse. |
Created attachment 146103 [details] I do not understand what this is but do not want it as my desktop wallpaper SUMMARY I use the Bing picture of the day as a wallpaper but recently there was a picture I could not understand and did not like. I wished there was at least a next wallpaper button so that we do not have to resolve to disabling the feature and enabling it after a day. If there is some API limit maybe providing a daily range (3 or so) to cycle through, as a wallpaper STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click on desktop 2. Click configure desktop 3. Under Wallpaper -> Wallpaper type set to Picture of the day 4. On provider, select any 5. Wait a couple of days with beautiful wallpapers OBSERVED RESULT After a few days a wallpaper you would not want to be displayed comes up with no way to skip or select another one except disable the service EXPECTED RESULT Either in the desktop menu request a new wallpaper, or the configure desktop app Have attached the image that had me file this feature request SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
