Currently there is no way to configure the transition effect on wallpaper slideshow, and the default just appears to be a tad to quick, almost seem like that there's no transition effect at all. Reproducible: Always
I understand what the request, but I think that's too niche of a feature to throw into a config dialog. If we do that with everything, it's just going to get covered in far too many options really quickly. However, I also agree that this fade is waay to fast. I might slow down the default. If you want to change it locally look for: /usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/org.kde.image/contents/ui/main.qml and the line duration on 180 and 189 change it to 5000 or so.
I think that we're using units duration everywhere is good *but* that place is definitely something where an exception could be made. As long as units.longDuration > 0 use 2000 or something like that (so you can still get rid of the transition altogether)

Git commit f255af63d2c9eb919dbe75e7a8ba681646890fda by David Edmundson. Committed on 06/03/2017 at 00:16. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'. Set a longer wallpaper transition time Summary: Whilst using units is generally good, the wallpaper transition time is way too short. It's a different type of animation to the others, especially in a slideshow, where the transition is an important part of the behaviour. This patch loads it from a hidden configuration option with a duration of 1000ms, if and only if animations are enabled. Value determined through brief trial and error. Test Plan: Opened wallpaper. Clicked next. Also changed static wallpaper manually, transition looked fine Reviewers: #plasma, broulik Reviewed By: #plasma, broulik Subscribers: broulik, plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D4370 M +4 -0 wallpapers/image/imagepackage/contents/config/main.xml M +4 -2 wallpapers/image/imagepackage/contents/ui/main.qml M +5 -1 wallpapers/image/slideshowpackage/contents/config/main.xml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/f255af63d2c9eb919dbe75e7a8ba681646890fda
