plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic VS Koi

There is a plugin for this too: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic/tree/main

As far as I understand you are talking about this plugin. I don't know c++ and half of the code was like a black magic, but if I get it correctly, it encodes your images with libavif, and adds custom metadata ([solar/time of day] -> json -> base64).

You are looking for dynamic wallpapers

Hi all, I am relatively new to debian, so please go easy on me, recently I installed this program https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic (built it from source)

Something like that yeah, except it keeps changing throughout the day. I use this for it, but it still was a bit of set up work.

There's some projects like this one that provide something like what you're asking, there's isn't a built-in solution yet

Here is a dynamic wallpaper for plasma5: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic

For dynamic wallpapers there's the plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic plugin and it works quite well, except it seems to add a little to the login times.

For everyone wondering about automatically switching to dark mode, I can definitely recommend using koi - at least until the feature has been built into the plasma desktop itself. It's based on time, and as far as I know does not support using light sensors.

This is light-weight alternative to Koi and Ying-Yang. The main difference is in its simplicity and customization of a bash script. It includes a home directory variable file when installed, which can add functionality but also just holds values such as the sunrise delay. Installation is simple and no downloads are needed other than the script.

I can really recommend koi for that purpose. I mean, built-in would be better, but Koi does a really great job, too!

Have you tried Koi?

Koi is nice if you want to be able to switch light/dark themes on the fly, or automatically

For KDE Plasma though, unfortunately, the only automatic way I could find to accomplish this is by using this project on github which is not supported on every distro (although recently added to the OBS).

I know about Koi, Yin-Yang, AutomaThemely, Plasma Theme Switcher and the widget I was talking about in last comment, Dynamic global themes. Once I even made a very poorly written and simple script to toggle KDE global themes, gtk themes, konsole colorscheme etc all at once and it barely works but I want to see an officially supported toggle to allow Auto Day/Night theme change in System Settings.

I don't know how much satisfied you are of your scripts but there's Koi which could interest you ;)
