Random image for KDE5/Plasma screensaver

I currently have the slideshow wallpaper type for KDE5/Plasma, I wonder if I can set the same thing for the screen lock background?

Re: Random image for KDE5/Plasma screensaver

Lock screen with picture slideshow

1) Copying /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/ to /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.slide.desktop/

2) Editing /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.slide.desktop/metadata.desktop
- Changing 'Comment', 'Name' and 'X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name' keys

3) Changing /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.slide.desktop/contents/previews/preview.png

4) Editing /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.slide.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreen.qml
- Using QML slideshow with KenBurns effect: https://gist.github.com/nbergont/8963892
- Adding Qml snippet to the LockScreen.qml: http://pastebin.com/NkXVZMMB

Notes !
- At here, using /media/sda2/Background/Lock folder. The folder doesn't have the pictures. The selected images has been symlinked to the folder.

5) Testing: https://youtu.be/OnMfKu3Iw-g

Seems to work...
