Why doesn’t plasma have this feature? I’m pretty sure there is a technical reason. This is pretty much the most customizable DE in existence, and missing a small feature like this seems odd to me.

      I want to take a shot at it, but I have zero idea where to start. Is there a guide on how to contribute to plasma? I’ve never done such thing. For now, I have forked superpaper and made it work with Wayland and I’m using it, but it would be nice to have that feature built in plasma

      For those that don’t wanna go to reddit.

      Nate’s answer:

      Because nobody implemented it yet. :)

      wallpaper cannot span multiple screens

      Most other DE’s and even just regular WM’s when used with feh can use a single large wallpaper spanning multiple screens, eg 5760x1080 for triple head. KDE 5 however can not do this and it also blocks feh from working as well. This used to work with KDE 3 and earlier but appears to have broken since then with the rewrite.

      I wasn’t sure which component was the better fit, Image Wallpaper or Multi-screen support so put it under Image Wallpaper since that is likely where it needs to be fixed.
