Hi Domen,

have you checked the wallpaper capabilities from Plasma? From a quick check of 
your ideas for implementation it looks like Plasma provides all of that except 
being cross platform and not having a systray icon. Now I don't think that it 
makes sense to have a wallpaper support being cross platform - it's not even 
cross desktop and way too specific to the internals of a desktop shell.

So from a KDE perspective only adding wallpaper support to Plasma matters. And 
as we have all those important features (and much more) I doubt that your 
project is a valuable addition for KDE.

Feel free to check out the wallpaper capabilities of Plasma Next and maybe you 
have some ideas there to improve it or help to get them ready for our first 
release. Helping hands are always welcome and having someone passionate about 
wallpapers working on it would certainly be a good thing. The online resource 
capabilities could be a nice addition.

Best Regards
Martin
