KDE

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that QtQuick-based KDE software acquires inertial scrolling using touchpads, the inbuilt RDP service supports syncing clipboard text between client and server, and session restore (Plasma remembering the position and size of windows) is coming to Wayland, among many other things:

a huge problem that makes me still stick in X11 is the lack of allow make an app receive mouse events instead tablet events.

Wayland by design needs the clients handle tablet events otherwise it would be broken unlike X11 and Win32 that only make usage of tablet events when you enable it.

This could be a problem for some apps (mostly proprietary ones) that use GUI toolkits (very older versions of Qt or GTK) lacking proper support of graphics tablet protocol.

I wanted something I could embed buttons in panels and configure from the GUI. Third plasmoid ive put together, second one I've published.

Party like it's the End Of 10!

[Reposted because I got the title wrong]

So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could).

I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important).

I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons.

All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster.

I hope you all enjoy it.

I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

Do you use a drawing tablet with Linux? You can share your device info in two easy steps - no coding skills required! 💙

Just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 from 6.3.5 (or .4? I forget) on Arch and all of my custom keyboard shortcuts for the Wayland session got reset. Was this an Arch thing or did the maintainers decide it was a good idea to reset custom shortcuts for the new point release? Is there any way to prevent that from happening in the future?

So I recently redid a full system icon pack based on/ using the open source material design icons from google. I wanted to have an icon pack that could completely adapt my whole system to any colour I wanted, and ended up having to make my own.

I shared this recently here.

I’m releasing it very soon, and would love some ideas or tips I should consider in the last moments before I submit the finished first release?

So far I know I need many more app icons, but other than that would love some ideas/ tips. Thanks.

(I’d love a list of app names I need to name the app icons to so they automatically apply.)

Recently I have noticed that if I open some 'Get more global themes' the window that loads only a finite number of matches. If I want to check other options, I have to know and type its name.

Previously I could just scroll down.

Is this just me or works as intended?

So for the better part of the month I’ve been nose glued to my laptab working a custom icon set. It started as just some custom folders… but ended up becoming me redoing the entire breeze theme. I’m talking thousands of icons.

I based the theme on the google material design as I haven’t seen a proper full system theming for that, and for accessibility reasons alone I think it needs to exist… but I mainly wanted to do it like that so I can have EVERYTHING change with the system accent colour.

So after likely over a hundred (hundreds of?) hours, I’m reaching the finish line.

Anyway for selfish and selfless reasons I want to be able to have my theme reach as many people as possible. Some people in my life have suggested I contact some Linux news sites, but that feels a bit much, I don’t know. Any ideas?

Oh yah it’s free of course.

"This week in Plasma" brings the news that Discover's list views can now be navigated with the keyboard, and that we met another accessibility standard by improving the readability of graph axis labels, as well as of selected items in KRunner and Discover, among many other things.

Is Bazzite on Plasma 6.4 already?

I have a strange bug on my Steam Deck with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I would like to know if it happens on other handhelds/distributions as well.

In Plasma Wayland 6.4 fullscreen windows shift up about half a screen when using gamepad input. They become normal again when I use mouse input. Happens with games as well as in VLC.

Edit: Can't take a screenshot of it, so here's a photo:

This kept me awake last night thinking about it.

Plasma Mobile News📳!

@NGIZero Core is funding work on the power management stack; the task switcher gets gestures back; the lockscreen and notifications were redesigned; KDE's very own convergent web browser, Angelfish, has been overhauled and now supports gestures; and look forward to improvements to Discover, Clock, Dialer and more.
