Sorry in advance for the basic nature of my question, but I have looked and
cannot really find an answer elsewhere.

I am interested in lxqt (version 0.11 I presume) for use as a basic desktop
environment to run on a Raspberry Pi 3 in use primarily as a KODI media
center with some very basic desktop functionality as well.

Specifically, the functionality I am interested in are:
1. A lightweight minimal CPU usage desktop. I know lxqt already meets this
requirement! I believe it's fairly "low memory usage as well. I like the
stated philosophy, "this desktop doesn't get in your way."

2. Desktop backgrounds (or wallpapers) in use as a desktop-background
"slideshow" not simply a single static image.  I know that GNOME & KDE
offer this. I don't think LXDE or LXQT do? At least not the 0.10 version of
lxqt. This is not a "must have" for me, but it would be nice. I have read
of others who have added this functionality with a script so maybe I can
work around this.

3. Ability to install a set of monochrome icons for the panel.

So, I know I can get all of this in a full desktop, but I am building
multiple desktop stations and I want to keep it as bloat-free and simple as
possible while still providing the basic functionality I need. I prefer the
"look" of Qt to Gtk apps so Qt  is preferred.

Also, I am an experienced Linux user so I can build from source, etc...
Should I go on and build the source build of lxqt and give it a spin?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
