Plasma 6.5
Hoe maak je een geweldig bureaublad in een fantastisch bureaublad? Gemakkelijk — haal de de ruwe dingetjes weg, poets het goede op en voeg iets geweldigs toe. Na 29 jaren ontwikkeling, kreeg KDE de fundering vastgenageld. Plasma 6.5 draait om finetuning, nieuwe functies en het soepel en strak maken van alles voor iedereen.
Klaar om te zien wat er nieuw is? Laten we in Plasma 6.5 duiken!

Hoogtepunten
Automatische themaovergangen
Configureer wanneer uw thema zal overgaan van licht naar donker en terug.
Caret-tekstnavigatie
Zoom duikt op in waar u typt
Wazig zoeken in KRunner
Zelfs als u het fout intypt zal KRunner het vinden!
Nieuwe mogelijkheden
Plasma 6.5 bevat een aantal veelgevraagde functies:
De eerste: afgeronde vensterhoeken onderaan! Vensters met thema Breeze zullen nu hetzelfde niveau van rondheid in alle vier de hoeken hebben. Als u dit niet leuk vindt, u de rondheid ook verwijderen.
Een andere is automatisch licht-naar-donker thema omschakelen gebaseerd op de tijd van de dag. U kunt configureren tussen welke globale thema's er omgeschakeld wordt en ook welke thema's getoond worden op de handmatige omschakelingen in de Snelle instellingen pagina van Systeeminstellingen.
Als een onderdeel van deze functie kunt u ook configureren of u de achtergrondafbeelding wilt wisselen tussen zijn lichte en donkere versies gebaseerd op het kleurenschema, de tijd van de dag of altijd licht of donker.
Vervolgens is er een "Vastgezette klembord items", die u tekst laat opslaan die u regelmatig in het klembord gebruikt, dus hoeft u niet deze niet telkens te blijven kopiëren.
Voor alle kunstenaars overal, u kunt nu elke draaischijf en aanraakring configureren op uw tekentablet met de pagina Tekentablet in Systeeminstellingen. Het toont ook een waarschuwing als u een tablet probeert te configureren die beheerd wordt door een eigen stuurprogramma en de tabletpagina verborgen zal zijn als u ten eerste geen tekentablet hebt verbonden.
We hebben de pagina Flatpak Permissions getransformeerd in een algemene pagina Application Permissions, waar u mogelijkheden van toepassingen kunt configureren om dingen te doen zoals schermafdrukken maken en verzoeken voor afstandsbesturing accepteren.
Plasma’s built in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server now lets you share the clipboard. You’re also no longer required to manually create separate remote desktop accounts; now the system’s existing user accounts work as expected, and you can just supply their credentials to the RDP client app.
Het Hulpmiddel dat het niveau van inkt of toner uit uw printer informeert u wanneer het laag is of leeg.
And finally, you can now hibernate your system from the login screen.
Bruikbaarheid
Usability improvements have been a major focus in Plasma 6.5. Here are some examples of what you can expect:
System Settings’ Wi-Fi & Networking page has been updated to show detected wireless networks, and you can connect to them directly from there.
Speaking of networking, when sharing the QR code of a Wi-Fi network, its password is now shown as well, so the person you’re sharing it to can easily connect. And to avoid mistakes, clicking “Connect” on a network in the Networks widget closes any other open password fields for other networks, so there’s only one visible at any given time. The widget also now provides visible messages like “looking for wireless networks” and “network has been disabled” to make it clearer what’s going on.
Continuing with the System Tray, the notification telling you that you missed some notifications while you were in Do Not Disturb mode includes a button you can click on to see those missed notifications.
In the audio department, Plasma now warns you that keeping the “Raise maximum volume” setting active for prolonged periods may damage the device’s speakers, and when the system is muted, changing the volume in any way now un-mutes all playback devices.
Likewise, muting microphones with a dedicated "Mute Microphone" key (or using the very cool secret Meta+Mute shortcut) now mutes all microphones, rather than just the active one. This makes the behavior consistent between microphones and speakers.
For the gamers out there, you can now see more relevant info about game controllers on System Settings’ Game Controller page.
And finally, setting up a wallpaper slideshow has been made easier as you can now click on the entire grid item for each image to toggle it on or off. And once it’s set up, you can advance to the next or previous wallpaper with keyboard shortcuts.
Toegankelijkheid
Visually impaired users will be happy to know that the Orca screen reader now reads out changes to the Caps Lock state, and that we have improved the way screen readers describe actions and keyboard shortcuts on System Settings’ Shortcuts and Autostart pages. On a related note, users sensitive to color can now make use of a grayscale color filter, which desaturates or removes color systemwide.
Plasma has also been audited for cases where the screen could flash at just the wrong speed to trigger photosensitivity, and all discovered cases have been fixed.
The Zoom effect can now be configured to jump to the position of the text insertion point as it moves around the screen.
In addition to playing a sound, Plasma now shows a system notification when you plug in a device. This was done primarily to help people with problems hearing, but you can also turn the notifications off if you want, go back to just sounds, or receive no feedback at all.
Tenslotte, navigatie met het toetsenbord is verbeterd door geheel Plasma en zijn toepassingen.
Widgets
KRunner, Plasma’s search/launch/unit converter/calculator/“but wait, there’s more” tool, uses fuzzy matching to look up applications. This means that even if you misspell an app’s name, KRunner will probably still find it for you. How search results are ordered has also been improved, and KRunner will start to provide those results after the first character is typed.
Sticky Notes added to panels can be resized to be much smaller; you can change their background color from the context menu; and when you choose the “Transparent” background color, colored sticky notes’ backgrounds disappear entirely.
On Wayland, you can re-order virtual desktops directly from the Pager widget, and re-ordering them in the Overview effect’s grid view now re-orders them in the Pager widget, too.
Apps
Many of Plasma’s included apps have seen improvements, too. Here are a couple of them:
Discover, Plasma’s software management app/app store, has seen a focus on performance and feedback. You should notice that Discover is usually much faster to launch in Plasma 6.5. And when it’s not, it’ll be more verbose about what it’s doing, so you can tell which source is being slow.
Discover has also gained support for flatpak+https:// URLs, which allows the Install buttons on Flathub to automatically open Discover. Finally, Discover can show you hardware drivers available for installation on operating systems supporting this feature.
The first time you launch Emoji Selector app (try it with Meta+.), it will open to a page showing everything instead of an empty “Recent” page. Now the search field is always visible, and doing a search will always search through the full set of all emojis if there aren’t any matches on the current page.
Spectacle is het hulpmiddel voor schermafdrukken en schermfilmpjes van Plasma en zal nu also ook in vensterscherm opnamen maken van wat verschijnt wat het doelvenster produceert.
HDR & Windows
The tone mapping curve used by KWin has been tweaked for when displaying HDR content and now it looks better than ever.
Plasma 6.5 implements support for an experimental version of the Wayland picture-in-picture protocol that promises to allow apps like Firefox to eventually display proper PiP windows that stay above others automatically.
Prestatie
We’ve added support for “overlay planes”, which promise to reduce CPU usage and power draw when displaying full-screen content using a compatible GPU.
By optimizing the splash screen code, re-arranging some of the startup steps and reducing the duration of the login animation, we have made the desktop load faster, making for a snappier Plasma experience.
