Do you plan to allow for using GIF wallpapers or animated wallpapers at some point? I think that would be awesome to see.

Zren

Not really. An AnimatedImage the size of a wallpaper uses too much resources IMO (CPU or RAM).
Feel free to edit the qml code from Image to AnimatedImage yourself though.

* ~/.local/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.github.zren.inactiveblur/contents/ui/
* https://github.com/Zren/plasma-wallpapers/blob/master/inactiveblur/package/contents/ui/BlurredWallpaper.qml#L17
* https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qml-animatedimage.html

Use the following command to test your changes without relogging:
killall plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell

This fella combined blur and AnimatedImage (not inactiveblur though):

9 can the blur level be modified?

Zren

Yes. Change "blur by 40" to "20" to make it less blurry, or "80" to make it more blurry. Use the up down spinner or arrow keys.

v3 - March 20 2019 1 year ago

* Fix memory leak introduced in the port to the slideshow API. It is easily reproduced with the slideshow reaching 2Gb of RAM in under an hour (switching wallpapers every 10 seconds). I forgot a single line that destroyed the old image.

v2 - March 19 2019

* Trigger blur event when a new window is created or a window is destroyed. It was previously only updating when you minimized a window or moved it (Issue #2).
* Update to the new image wallpaper config GUI
* Implement a simple toggle to enter slideshow mode (Issue #1).
