• GUI-based shader customization will return in future versions.
• Shadertoy.com imports are currently unsupported in the Plasma6 version due to shader compilation requirements.
• Performance may vary by hardware and shader complexity, but most shaders are resource-efficient.
• After editing shader files, restart the KDE Wallpaper QtQuick app (pkill plasmashell and restart).
