Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
looks liek a normal wallpaper, til you drag it around. leftbutton. it also has a "sync with mouse movement" option. normal drag-only movement is more efficient tho.
gives an immersive effect. works well with larger wallpapers and resolutions.
make sure you specify an image of your correct resolution or slightly bigger (+/-150pixels). i havent done any image size checking or scaling options yet.
but yea. go forth. and break it. please?
update: movement still isnt very smooth for most people. im workin on it.
update: fails for dualhead setups. mail me a pair of monitors? ;] im workin on it.

And, yes, you should try using OpenGL for that, if possible. It would reveal almost endless possibilities, like creating a scene of room and putting some plasmoids here and there. It would be a true 3D desktop.

I'm guessing this can't span both monitors, since plasma regards each monitor as a separate activity; but it would be good if it allowed for two things:
- Very wide pictures (I tried to use one but it cropped the picture)
- manually setting the center or default position.
The animation could be smoother, but I've yet to see a smoothly animated plasma wallpaper so that may be a plasma thing.

I can try looking around in the code some to see about extending the width of the image, though I'm more of a python guy; c++ kind of gets my head spinning.

cd movingscene;
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .;
make;
sudo make install;
dont forget that dot after '/usr' in the cmake command.
thanks for the interest tho :)

it would be great if you could add a smooth scrolling effect, that would enable easier scrolling for large images.
