Plasma 5.24 beta is now available for testing and in this new version within the key improvements we can find that Breeze theme updated, because now when displaying catalogs the highlight color of the active elements is taken into account.
Implemented more visual markup to set focus on buttons, text fields, radio buttons, sliders, and other controls. The Breeze color scheme has been renamed to Breeze Classic for a clearer separation of the Breeze Light and Breeze Dark schemes. Removed the high contrast color scheme (Breeze High Contrast), instead of which it is proposed to use a similar Breeze Dark scheme.
Visualization was improved in notifications, to attract the user's attention and increase visibility in the general list, especially important notifications are now highlighted with an orange stripe on the side.
Header text is made more contrasting and readable, plus video notifications now display a thumbnail of the content. In the screenshot notification, the position of the annotation button has been changed and the output of system notifications about receiving and sending files via Bluetooth has been provided.
Another change that we can find is when a weather widget is added for the first time, it will be asked to configure its location and options, in addition to the automatic search in all compatible weather services.
On screen brightness control widget and battery monitoring, the interface has been improved to disable sleep mode and screen lock. When running out of battery, the widget is now limited to items related to screen brightness control.
Removed arrows after section names in the Kickoff menu sidebar to unify the look and feel with other side menus.
In the widget reporting the lack of free disk space, monitoring of partitions mounted in read-only mode was stopped.
Added the ability to set a desktop background from the context menu displayed for images, as well as support for uploading images from the simonstalenhag.se service in the “image of the day” plugin.
El task manager was improved so added the ability to change the alignment direction of tasks on the panel, an item to move a task to a specific room (Activity) has been added to the task manager context menu, the “Start New Instance” item has been renamed to “Open New Window”, and the “More Actions” item has been renamed. moved to bottom of menu.
KRunner offers integrated tooltips for available search operations, which is displayed when you click the question mark or enter the command "?".
In the configurator the design of the pages has been changed with large setting lists (items are now displayed without frames) and some content has been moved to the dropdown menu (“hamburger”). In the color settings section, you can change the highlight color of active elements, plus the interface for setting formats has been completely rewritten to QtQuick (in the future, it is planned to merge this configurator with language settings) .
In the power consumption section, the ability to determine the upper charge limit for more than one battery has been added and the speaker test layout in sound settings has been redesigned.
A new overview effect has been implemented. to view the content of virtual desktops and evaluate search results in KRunner, called by pressing Meta + W and blurring the background by default. When opening and closing windows, the Scale effect is enabled by default instead of the Fade effect.
KWin offers the possibility to assign a keyboard shortcut to move a window to the center from the screen. Implemented so that Windows remembers the screen when an external monitor is unplugged and returns to the same screen when it is plugged in.
In Discover a mode has been added to automatically restart after a system update, in addition to the apply updates page has been debugged (the update selection interface has been simplified, information about the update installation source is displayed, only a progress indicator has been left for items in the process of updating). Added a “Report this problem” button to send a report to the distribution kit developers about the problems that have arisen.
Also It is noted that the performance of session significantly improved based on the Wayland protocol, Well, now support has been added for color depths greater than 8 bits per channel, as well as the concept of “main monitor” has been added, similar to the means of determining the primary monitor in X11-based sessions. The “DRM lease” modality was implemented, which made it possible to return support to virtual reality headsets and solve performance problems when using them. The configurator offers a new page to configure tablets.
Spectacle now supports access to the active window in a Wayland-based session, plus the ability to use the widget to minimize all windows was provided. Restoring a minimized window restores it to the original and not the current virtual desktop. Added the ability to use the Meta+Tab combination to switch between more than two rooms (Activity).
In a session based in Wayland, the onscreen keyboard is shown only when the focus is in the text input area. In the system tray, it was possible to display an indicator to call the virtual keyboard only in tablet mode.
