Thanks for filing this bug report. Unfortunately there isn't enough information for us to try to figure out what's happening. Please add information about your system as requested in the bug report template. Copy and paste this with the information into a new comment. SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanks for your understanding Yeah, sorry I forget that part always :) Steps: 1) Get any 2 GIF wallpapers: https://imgur.com/gallery/pixel-art-gif-wallpaper-dump-dKalV 2) Follow instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1ohsvov/plasma_65s_daynight_wallpapers_how_to/ to create the directory structure of Day/Night wallpaper in "~/.local/share/wallpapers", you can use the Orionids wallpaper structure in "/usr/share/wallpapers/Next" for reference. 3) After creating the wallpaper, apply it in systemsettings, make sure 'Switch dynamic wallpaper' is set to "Based on the day/night cycle". 4) Plasma will set only the "image_dark" wallpaper across all times, but proper switching of 'light' and 'dark' images will happen when you set 'Switch dynamic wallpaper' to "Based on whether Plasma style is light or dark" or "Always use light/dark variant". Interesting part: If you replace the GIF wallpapers for PNG/JPGs, they will switch properly with "Based on the day/night cycle" setting and they will also have the Day/Night badge as you can see with Orionids, where you can't with GIFs for some reason.
