Description:
**Plasma6 version is out! https://store.kde.org/p/2143912**

Shader Wallpaper is a KDE/Plasma Wallpaper Plugin that allows you to run shaders as your wallpaper.


Video of 1.2 using iGPU (and kvantum) in VirtualBox: https://streamable.com/1g7muc

Video of 1.0: https://streamable.com/yeqam9

I'll probably maintain it on Github principally for issues/PR but I'll try my best to maintain both, if anything contact me on twitter.

Github: https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper
Opencode: https://www.opencode.net/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper

Roadmap:
Version 1.0 - Simply load shaders
Version 1.1 - File Dialog added
Version 1.2 - iGPU fix
Version 1.3 - 70 new shaders + autolisting
Version 2.0-alpha - GUI customization of wallpaper & load from file or shadertoy.com
Version 2.0.1-alpha - Breaking bug fix regarding the pause/fullscreen feature(current version)

Notes:
- Performance may vary depending of your specs, but it's actually not all that resource intensive, depends on the shader too.

9 Awesome GLSL shaders for your desktop. Avoid running them on laptops and other battery powered devices.

Will this app have a version for plasma 6? My Garuda forced entry to plasma 6. But this add-on is more important to me than plasma 6. Now I'm unable to use it... 😐

Glad you like it! I'm working on upgrading it for KDE6/QT6! Will message you here once it's ready.

Meu grande amigo desenvolvedor. Seu complemento tem sido útil para mim há anos! Eu adoraria que funcionasse novamente. Muito obrigado se você fizer isso. Não deixe que este trabalho maravilhoso seja esquecido no passado.

Still working on it :) They've changed a lot of things and it's taking longer than I hoped for. Sorry! I'll get it to work though!

gleycon

It looks like the Plasma 6 version is in the store. Huh? Wow, I'm going to try it now to see if it works for me. Thanks! :)

y4my4my4m

There's still a lot more to do, but I thought I'd share with you today's progress. https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper/tree/plasma6 You can try it out now if you'd like (clone from this branch and install using kpackagetool6 as per the readme) There's only the waves and clouds shaders as of today. I will be porting more in the next few days.

y4my4my4m

I did not know Plasma6 was out. I will try it and see if this plugin is upgradable.

silverein

10 Adding this functionality to Plasma is AWESOME, thanks!

10 Outstanding. One of the best contributions ever made to opendesktop.org.

Thank you! It means a lot to me. I've been wanting to polish and update this for a long time now. Be sure to try your very own shaders, visit shadertoy dot com to find one's you like and try them directly by pasting the url or ID in the shader path. Only works for shaders without buffers for now.

10 I love it. Thanks so much for your work

For some reason, most of the options in the wallpaper settings page have white text. This is almost unreadable on light themes.

10 Best. Is there way to add like mouse coordinates somehow to make more interactive shaders?

y4my4my4m

I've experimented with this before, unfortunatel I didn't get it to work, it was like there was always something in front of the mouse preventing the xy capture. I really want this feature to work as it would allow for so many effects. I believe it is possible. https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper/blob/d108ed7e992bb57baa9607333250a232f05c7c4a/contents/ui/Components/ShaderEngine.qml#L142-L155

Cool, but it freezes every second for some reason.

9 thanks you for this amazing plugin! I dont understand why UI so "random" (it display some random parameters from code) and iTime scroll resize itself randomly... I added my own shader as wallpaper for this KDE Shader Wallpaper plugin https://www.pling.com/p/1505365
