Description Kevin Messer 2020-07-14 23:08:28 UTC 
Hi,

In order to have fancy Pokemon as Konsole background, there needs to be a way to set the background via a command line or similar that can be called via Python : https://github.com/LazoCoder/Pokemon-Terminal/issues/181

Is it possible to implement such thing ? Thanks a lot in advance

This should be simple to do by adding a new dbus method org.kde.konsole.Session.setWallpaper(path)

Nice, it should be done at code level right ?

Do you think it could be done quickly ?

Thanks a lot in advance

I shall attempt to implement this feature. I gather I can probably reference the code from the GUI elements for setting the background, or reuse some functions there.

I’m new to KDE development. I may revisit this in the future after gaining more experience with the codebase.
