KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual Saturday summary of the promising KDE changes this week. Some of the highlights for Valentine's week include:
- As part of the 15-minute bugs project. KDE has restored support for launching applications from the App Launcher's "History" and "Frequently Used" pages.
- Another 15-minute bug fix is the KDE Plasma Wayland session will no longer have a semi-transparent, non-interactive ghost version of a window when moving a window to another virtual desktop.
- The Kate text editor now has an interactive, path-based navigation bar.
- Plasma 5.25 will allow optionally configuring color schemes to apply an accent color to window titlebars or the entire header area.
- System Settings will no longer crash when pressing the Esc key within the Display Configuration area.
- Plasma Wayland's KWin compositor will no longer crash when dragging something from XWayland-based Firefox to the desktop.
- Tapping an input field with a stylus under Plasma Wayland will now behave as expected.
- The Task Manager on Plasma Wayland will now work correctly for certain systems such as on Gentoo.
- When a native Wayland application's window is maximized under the Plasma Wayland session, the titlebar's maximize/restore button now visually shows the correct state.
- Plasma 5.24.1 will allow setting a maximum charge level for supported laptop batteries.
- Plasma will no longer crash when copying certain text to the clipboard.
- Installing OBS Studio for Spectacle's "Install A Screen Recorder" now works correctly.
- Improved notification UI for completion of Ark compression jobs.
- UI improvements to the audio volume indicators, System Settings' Firewall page, and other user-interface refinements.
