Description: This is the classic KDE 4 wallpaper with some modifications. This wallpaper changes it's color continuously from one to other. They are 8 different colors plus every color created between every color overlay.
Untar the file into your Pictures folder. then, double click or execute the "install" script using "sh ./install" (thanks to brenan99 for the script). After that, select the XML file as wallpaper.Last changelog:
1.1 Transition value changed to 1000 seconds due to current bug with Compiz.
it's a great wallpaper, i really like it, but... when i put it on the processor spikes to about 30%, the icons on the notification area flash, and everything is slower... were it not so incredibly heavy i would use it, see if it's a problem or something... i think you should try to fix it.
well umm i tried switching to metacity as my window manager but the same problem happened... i don't know... your other wallpaper, alldaylong, worked perfectly fine if that means anything.
Metacity fixes the flash issue. Anyway I have changed the transition range to 1000.. this means that the color transition will take longer but the processor and the flash issues will be fixed.

I know, actually this a Compiz issue. If you use metacity or run compiz --replace, this doesn't happen.
Let me check if I can fix this someway

I had the same problem. Try setting the transition time for example to 10 minutes in the ColorSpin.xml file (set every <duration> to a higher value)

i am glad that more people are making these animated wallpapers. Great job on the install script as well.
Great wallpapers but can you make other resolutions too, like 1680x1050 ? Keep up the good work! ;)
