KDE3 had best style ever (from what I know... didn't use KDE2 or earlier, but others said the older, the better,) with more desktop options. Colour could be monochrome or gradient. On top of it, full-desktop/-screen images could be single or slideshow. I request all that (and anything else people liked) be returned. Colour/gradient was returned to KDE4, but not optional slideshow in place of main image (full-desktop/-screen, 'centred maxpect,' etc.,) only tiny mini-slideshow in a desktop section, making it overall unaesthetic/messy. So of course, I didn't use KDE4 slideshow. Now, I prefer a blank gradient (was forced to make my own, tolerable for now,) maybe wouldn't add image/slideshow on top, but it'd be nice to have back KDE3 (not KDE4) way. So, I don't consider all this urgent, it'd just be nice to see again in the future, otherwise switch to any earlier/KDE3 update/fork available for my OSes, that can do all that, if they fix earlier bugs and can run dolphin.
Vague sweeping comments aren't valid bug repoorts. If you have a specific request (i.e graident wallpaper) please file it individually. Otherwise we can't track anything.
