Missing your favorite xscreensaver hack? Have an old Windows screensaver that works under Wine? Want to have htop as your wallpaper? Or maybe you'd like to write your own screensaver in Godot? This addon lets you use any application as a Plasma wallpaper or screensaver.

@dos @kde @kde @kde Cool, for laptop and mobile can you use this to create a full screen affect when the charger in connected? Like Android.

@dean @kde @kde I guess so... but why? You'd be limited to the background layer, and this doesn't really call for a nested Wayland compositor. It may be worth looking at simpler ways to tackle that (depending on exact requirements): screenlocker's QML UI, a layer-shell client, KWin effect etc.
