| adding wallpaper for kde4 plasma workspace |
Created On Dec 3, 2009 |
Brief:
I have my own image which i want to set as wallpaper to KDE4 Desktop. |
| Description: KDE4 wallpapers are stored in directory /usr/local/kde4/share/wallpapers
Now go to directory cd /usr/local/kde4/share/wallpapers
Now make directory with desired name mkdir Example_001
Following should be the structure of your directory
Example_001 | |--contents |----images | |--------1024x768.jpg |--------1280x1024.jpg |--------1280x800.jpg |--------1440x900.jpg |--------1600x1200.jpg |--------1920x1080.jpg |--------1920x1200.jpg |--------800x600.jpg | |----screenshot.jpg |--metadata.desktop
screenshot.jpg is a used for showcasing it in desktop settings
In `images` directory you need to save images as per size indicated by name so that kde4 can get select image as per resolution.
Now we to write content for metadata.desktop file
[Desktop Entry] Name=Name for wallpaper
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=Name for Plugin X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=Author Name X-KDE-PluginInfo-Email=Email of Auther
