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.

    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.
