Cheers, Yer thereās a lot in there that I never posted here.
Hi!
Terrybly sorry to ask you a stupid question, but Iām a novice.
HOW TO install your splashscreens from a source code xxx.tar.gz
right click the file and choose extract to and then extract it to your wallpaper folder
ie /home/USER/Wallpaper after the extraction is finished it should be available for use.
Yes, I know that. But I saw a number of files and folders in the archive, so I thought that it is some app to be installed. )
I donāt remember how kde does wallpaper its been a little bit since iāve installed it. but you should be able to set it through the background settings
Hello, smokey!
I cannot install any of your SPLASH screens via KDE System settings. I always get error. So the question is the same - how to install your splash screens either from downloaded tar.gz files or via System settings (they are also packed as tar.gz).
These files are not wallpapers. They are splash screens, and it is impossible to use directly. So the question is the same, how to install them. )
my bad I thought you were trying find a wallpaper to set. I donāt use kde so know nothing of splash screens
Iāll post some instructions when i get home for you.
Extract them to here
/home/smokey/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel
It seems to me, I found the answer to the following question: why canāt the system see your splashscreens in the System Settings?
The reason seems to be as follows:
You use an extra folder to store your splashscreens. Maybe because you want users to see Licence and Readme.md first.
Letās see an example of the screen City Beats Plasma.
When I install it via System Settings it installs, but the system doesnāt see it.
Why so?
- It installs into /home/user/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel folder. Itās OK.
- The system automatically (I think so) generates the folder nOcAAE-1 and stores the screen inside this folder.
- The system looks for the folder ācontentsā and for metadata.json file in nOcAAE-1 folder and doesnāt find them because they are hidden in the additional folder City-Beats-Plasma. (nOcAAE-1 - City-Beats-Plasma)
- I move ācontentsā and for metadata.json from City-Beats-Plasma to nOcAAE-1 folder (nOcAAE-1 - contents + metadata.json) and the system sees your screen in System Settings.
- I shall manually rename the folder nOcAAE-1 into City-Beats-Plasma. Otherwise the system cannot start the screen.
My guess is you either shall get rid of that extra folder (in all of your tar.gz and zip packs), or you shall tell the system where to search for the needed files and folders.
PS I love cats very much. )
Does it show after a reboot?
No
Ok.
Please, read my long post above.
Yer, it is honestly above my brain space now to fix but I get what you mean
