KDE developers continue to be quite busy ahead of the holidays to pack more features into the upcoming [1]Plasma 6.3 desktop release.
Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his newest weekly blog post that provides a status update on all of the changes going into the Plasma desktop code. Some of the highlights for this week include:
- KDE now has better fractional scaling support. This improved fractional scaling support should yield "a lot less" blurriness, no more gaps between windows and their shadows, and all-around be better than the prior fractional scaling code for KDE. This will be found with the upcoming Plasma 6.3 release.
- KWin in Plasma 6.3 will offer an option to prefer screen color accuracy at the expense of system performance.
- The feature to maximize a window horizontally or vertically by double-clicking on one of its edges can now be disabled if so desired.
- Plasma panels after log-in will now appear on screen only after their contents are fully-loaded.
- Plasma 6.3's clipboard will now use a standard SQLite database rather than its own internal custom format. Using SQLite should yield better memory efficiency and reliability.
- Many bug fixes.
