Set wallpaper from script

Sat Apr 18, 2009 10:17 am
In KDE 3 I can do

Code: Select all
$ dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper filename 6


I can't find any such equivalent for KDE 4. I it there already somewhere and I just can't find it or is it due for implementation at some point?

At this time it is not possible to change the desktop background used by Plasma via D-Bus.

Well darn. Do you know if such functionality is planned for KDE 4? There's all sorts of uses for it.

At this time I do not know if / when it will be implemented. It won't be implemented for KDE 4.3 though.
