@mart You're essentially describing transforming the lock screen into a screensaver, with the default effect being an animated slideshow. I would favor this. Users like screensavers simply for the visual flair, and I've heard a lot of user feedback that they'd like something approximating a screensaver. However, that's a substantially different patch from this one, and we might run into memory pressure issues if we're not able to resolve https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368838 beforehand. My worry is that we let the perfect be the enemy of the good and don't get something in time for 5.13, and ship yet another Plasma version with the eyeball-searing blue background. I support your initiative, but could we land this or a tweaked variant before then, so at we at least have a better fallback in case we aren't able to ship your idea in time?
