Hi,

I am new to the Plasma world so accept my apologies in advance if I did not use the right terminology.

I recently found out that it was possible to use a QML script (Plasmoid) as a wallpaper in Plasma 5. That is pretty cool and I was able to display some animated content based QT's built-in items after looking into the code of Video Wallpaper.

Now I am wondering whether it would be possible to render OpenGL content as well, given that in principle Qt Quick can provide an OpenGL context. would an app like OpenGL-under QML example be supported?

I guess the implementation would require that I can compile, register and instantiate my own Qt Quick Item class that provides the OpenGL fucntionality but I have not found how to do that. A call to something like

Code: Select all

qmlRegisterType<OpenGLSCene>();

needs to take place before the .qml file is loaded and that does not seem possible here.
