KDE developer Nate Graham is out with the newest issue of This Week in Plasma to highlight all of the interesting KDE Plasma improvements merged for the week.

While Plasma 6.4 is under active development as the next major release following Plasma 6.3's debut in February, this week was mostly about bug fixing. Nate Graham remarked, " This week we took a break from new features and put on our bug-fixing hats, squashing a very large number of bugs and annoyances, because it's important not to break things when you move fast! "

Some of the KDE Plasma highlights for the week include:

- The ability to control whether a window has a title bar and frame via the Task Manager context menu.

- Plasma 6.4 will restore the ability to configure the lock screen clock to disappear when the rest of the UI fades out, in order to provide a screensaver-like experience.

- Fixed two serious crash issues with KWin.

- Fixing an issue that could cause the lock screen to sometimes be all black on X11.

- Fixing one of the top 20 Plasma crashes, which would happen when waking from sleep.

- Fixing a visual glitch in the Plasma 6.4 Global Menu when moving the pointer between open menus.

- The kscreen-doctor tool can now be used to toggle HDR modes on/off.

- Reducing the amount of Plasma log spam.

- Various other bug and crash fixes.
