(Solved) KDE Live Wallpaper

Tue Dec 27, 2011 6:01 am
I have designed a screensaver called KOceanSaver:

A few people have asked if it could be used as a live wallpaper like on an android phone. The only thing I can think would work is something like the snow affect. Would anyone be willing to help or send me in the right direction?

You need to look at Plasma::Wallpaper on api.kde.org. This will allow it to be used as a native Plasma wallpaper (compositing not required)

Does anyone have any idea how to use QtOpenGL in place of QPainter?
