Wallpaper Engine

KDE Plasma has gained support for wallpaper engine through a plugin installable through the KDE store or github, which can be installed and compiled from source here.

That same source supplies information on correctly installing and utilizing the plugin for KDE. I reccomend reading the README from that repository whether you install from source or from the KDE store.

It may be better to install the plugin from the github repository, as it ensures that the plugin stays up to date. The KDE store version was out of date for a while. However as of the making of this repository, it is close/mirrored in version with the github version.

If you install from KDE store, I do still reccomend reading the README (skip to the Usage section).
