If I want to change my wallpaper, I should choose one and then press Apply (or OK) to see the effect.
It' s much more easier and comfortable when I'm able see the effect just after clicking on the wallpaper (i.e. I don't want to click on Applly/OK button to see the effect).

I think there is similar idea to this. I have to search for it.

Edit: here it is:
brainstorm.php#idea55916

Please reply if this is what you want if it is I'll mark this as duplicate.

One more edit :D :
Yeah the idea that I've linked to is more general, so it would be nice if another idea mod would come here and decide whether the more specialised or more general idea is the "main" idea; and which should be re-written.

I see that problem is more general. Still I can't agree this is a dublicate. Nevertheless I thought of the opportunity to aplly this idea to plasma settings as well.

At least my reading of this idea is that this is more of a preview, the wallpaper doesn't permanently change until you hit okay or apply. If you hit cancel the wallpaper would go back to what it was before. This is completely different then getting rid of the "apply" button. Is this an accurate representation, Voyageur?

Yes-yes-yes! You're absolutely right, that was my idea!
