  Shadertoy is a blast, and if you use KDE, you can make your wallpaper use it[0]

• [Kde] Fond d'écran différent pendant la charge / sur batterie?

• I can draw with my mouse pointer on elements with blurry background (wayland)
  1 project | /r/kde | 5 Jan 2023

  The workaround I employed is using an animated wallpaper. I use https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper with a shader (Pixelated_RGB.frag) that's very mild on the GPU (even at 60fps). The GPU remains in P8 power state, watt usage doesn't seem to change compared to a static wallpaper. For some reason, this fixes the issue.

• Different Wallpaper while charging / on battery?
  1 project | /r/kde | 7 Dec 2022

  i use the https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper shader wallpaper plugin, but it's eating so much battery that i want it only active if i am plugd into a power source.

• Really happy how the latest shader effect turned out!

  This would be excellent as a wallpaper via the KDE Shader Wallpaper plugin.

• Now that Plasma supports videos as background, I want to remind everyone that the awesome "Shaders" module exists
  1 project | /r/kde | 13 Oct 2022

  Even though the last big release was about two years ago, the project is still occasionally updated on Github and they do look awesome! Personally I'm not a very big fan of moving wallpapers, but if you're looking forward to having them in 5.26, have a look at this project also. Here is a video of the 1.3 shaders which are as far as I remember included in the version you get from Plasma's Get New Stuff.

• Desktop environments and applications for live/dynamic wallpapers?
  1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 14 Feb 2022

  I plan on creating a new linux install soon and I'm looking for desktop environments and to a lesser extent applications that allow for a live/dynamic wallpaper. To be more precise I'm not looking to change the image a handful of times a day or play a prerecorded video but rather render a scene/shader in OpenGL, Vulkan, or similar to the background multiple times per second. I've searched around for a while and the best I could find was this github that seems to be a kde plugin able to display shaders much like shadertoy can and some posts that got wallpaper engine to work. They both seems to suggest that kde would be able to this but I'd have to create something myself to get it working in the way I'd like which is non ideal but acceptable. Are there any better desktop environments or applications or methods for achieving this and if so what are they?

• Wallpaper Engine Developers looking to Support Steam Deck (and KDE Plasma as a consequence)

  I just use the existing shaders plugin for KDE for my HTPCs wallpaper. (I keep it with something animated to prevent burn-in)
