This Week In Plasma is out with its newest issue to highlight the latest advancements made to KDE Plasma. Some of the great work this week includes:

- V2 of the Input Capture portal is also now implemented.
- Plasma 6.7 also adds an upscaling feature for screen content when using the KWin Zoom effect. Content will attempted to be sharpened and upscaled for a better appearance.
- Plasma's Printers widget will now have a badge showing the number of active and queued print jobs at the moment.
- KDE styling for the generic MessageDialog component from Qt to resolve some "really ugly and out of place" dialogs in different software, the example shown:
- The automatic screen brightness feature is now taking more data into account to make better decisions.
- Plasma 6.7 is also fixing a case where KWin could crash when activating an item on a hidden panel while using the in-development Vulkan back-end.
- For KDE Plasma 6.6.5 is fixing performance issues for different NVIDIA GPUs with their R595 driver.
