Description acidrums4 2019-11-24 22:14:06 UTC

I noticed one of the additions on Plasma 5.17 was an option to use wallpapers from Unsplash, directly from the wallpaper picker. If I read it correctly, this would not require to use any additional plugins whatsoever - it would be an upstream thing.

To be able to do that, one has to pick 'Picture of the day' on 'Wallpaper type' on the 'Configure desktop' window.

However, such option doesn't show up in my installation. Under 'Wallpaper type' I have the following options:

- Slideshow
- (Single) Image
- Simple/plain color
- Worldmap

I thought it would be something related with kdeplasma-addons, but I have it installed. Can't tell if it's anything I'm missing or something, because I installed KDE from the minimal set - not the whole kde-plasma set.

Certainly 'just works' for me as of 5.17.3. It *is* part of kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons.

I don't know what you understand by minimal set; I certainly can't recommend nor support you not using plasma-meta.

Why would kde overlay be involved here?

Geez, so it seems I screwed up. Can't figure how, though

'Cause I remember when upgrading to KF5/Plasma 2 installing a set that wasn't plasma-meta but something smaller (plasma-desktop?) and pulled the extra apps I needed. kdeplasma-addons is definitively here

That's where I'm pulling kde from, I reckon the plasma version on Portage stable tree is 5.16.5. Please forgive me if this doesn't belong here, with the recent changes here I got lost

plasma-meta does not come with applications. Please give it a try.
