Support for wallpaper plugin

Opened this issue · 6 comments

Currently it seems the wallpaperplugin attribute for desktop is set in panel.nix.

May I ask if it is possible to support customization for wallpaper plugin?

For example, I hope to use the Wallpaper Engine for KDE plugin, and I already have the package ready in Nix. I can manually set the plugin in system settings, and it seems the only changed setting is wallpaperplugin=com.github.catsout.wallpaperEngineKde.

We need a nix package available in nixpkgs to try to do so. I couldn't find it.

Here is a flake containing the wallpaper engine plugin package I made myself. You could build the plasma6 version like this:

nix build git+https://forgejo.invariantspace.com/macronova/nix-custom.git#wallpaper-engine-plasma6-plugin

After you put the packages in either environment.systemPackages or home-manager.users.<user>.home.packages you should see the plugin when you right click the desktop and change the wallpaper.

The package is working fine, I think I can make the support for it. Could you make these packages available in nixpkgs? It would be better than adding another dependency to the flake.

I can try to make them available in nixpkgs
