Bug ID: 391485
Summary: Wallpaper chooser UI not very discoverable; consider
making it into a KCM so we can expose it via System
Settings
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Right now, the only way to change the wallpaper is by right-clicking on the
desktop and choosing "Configure Desktop".
This is a rather unintuitive method, because:
- It relies on a context menu, which is an expert UI; most users don't use
context menus, especially on laptops
- The user needs to make the mental leap that the wallpaper is part of the
desktop
The first place people go looking for the wallpaper chooser UI is in the System
Settings app. Sadly, ours doesn't have it there, contrary to user expectations
and consistency with every other platform.
Technically speaking, this is because it's a part of the Folder View widget,
and not a KCM. But perhaps we should break it out into being a KCM so we can
put it in System Settings.
