Set any application as Plasma background

Missing your favorite xscreensaver hack? Have an old Windows screensaver that works under Wine? Want to have htop as your wallpaper? Or maybe you'd like to write your own screensaver in Godot? This addon lets you use any application as a Plasma wallpaper or screensaver.

I really like the one with the fish

yea I thought it was very relaxing I wouldn't mind having this as background

This is Asciiquarium and it's the one that inspired me to write this in the first place, as its Qt port used to be bundled in KDE 4 and that's what I used to use as my screensaver back then. So I thought: I could either port it to QML, or... launch the original thing in Konsole and put it there by embedding a Wayland compositor 😄

You lost me around the end, but thanks for the name !






That's a lot of effort just to Rickroll us!

Seriously, nice work. I'm always hesitant to use something like this because it's another thing that can go wrong. But the idea is really cool.


Active Desktop for Linux! But seriously, ever since I ditched desktop icons, I've thought about making the desktop useful by having it display a HTML dashboard of sorts. Now I can.
