@gotbletu

I thought the same thing but when my body started giving up then it was no fun I am serious get at least 8.5 hour of sleep and work out

[gotbletu]

@Lchelidze oh haha, well i can sleep all i want once i die, then my health issues will be solved, cuz i wont be needing it

[gotbletu]

@setsallset hehe yea i hear about some of those methods, i havent try it yet. seems like more running process to get a hotkey to work. lols but good effort googling

[gotbletu]

@thurstonxander thats good to hear that my videos are not a stinker lols, hope you enjoy other ones as well

[setsallset]

@gotbletu actually, I'm not sure but I think you just need the script that came with New Wallpaper.

[setsallset]

@gotbletu I figured out a way to do it. Gotta install "ksetwallpaper" plasmoid, download the "New Wallpaper" deb @ bit. ly/tsI0N1 , make a global keyboard shortcut to "~/.config/new-wallpaper/scrip­ts/KDE4" and you're done. Don't even need the plasmoid or app running. Shortcut works. Gotta take some of it back. Easy now but had to bing/google it. Had to space the bitly url cuz youtube won't let me post.
