Have been using a Linux distro with a Plasma desktop for some time now, and generally I like it quite well, however, with every new version, the “default” wallpaper changes, and at least some of the older ones seem to be gone; now, Plasma 6.4 had a default wallpaper I liked, I believe it was called “Coast”, and I would prefer to keep it - but it has been replaced by the next ones.
Would there be a way to change this behaviour, and how to do it? I would prefer to decide myself if I want the replacement or not, as well as keep any of the older wallpapers that I want to hold on to - so, would there be any settings that can be changed, or another way to modify this?
Along with all the other past default wallpapers, Coast is still available in the plasma-workspace-wallpapers repo/package. If your distro doesn’t install it automatically, you’ll have to do so yourself.
Thanks for replying; if I install the package, though, I imagine it will add the wallpapers, not change the replacing behaviour - would there be a way to configure this somehow?
The current default wallpaper is not included in this repository, but in Breeze. When a new default wallpaper is selected, the previous default will be moved to this repository.
It’s just a repository with the images, you can download Coast directly:
