This still works on KDE Plasma 5.11.4. The background slideshow function on KDE is currently bugged (huge CPU usage after enabling it) so I made my own slideshow python program to change it using your script. https://i.imgur.com/JFBzaHf.png Thanks very much mamantoha, you saved me a lot of hassle.
This still works with Plasma 5.27.0 🤩
