KDE Plasma developers remain quite busy preparing for the Plasma 6.6 desktop release coming up in a little more than two weeks while at the same time continuing to land early features for the Plasma 6.7 release coming later in the year.
This Week in Plasma is out with its newest issue for highlighting all of the interesting Plasma developments this past week. Some of the Plasma highlights for late 6.6 activity and early 6.7 feature development include:
- Plasma 6.7 is adding support for the Wayland ext-background-effect-v1 protocol to standardize background effects like blur.
- A late UI fix for Plasma 6.6 is Breeze-themed checkboxes will now always have an opaque background to deal with cases where unchecked checkboxes could be hard to see when overlaid on top of images.
- Plasma 6.7 network settings now expose L2TP VPN options.
- The old Air Plasma style has been restored for Plasma 6.7. Yes, a restoration of the Air desktop theme back from the KDE 4 days as a light alternative to the Oxygen style... KDE 4 throwback:
- Plasma 6.7 will let you set a global keyboard shortcut for clearing the notification history.
- The Emoji skin selector window now lets you choose mixed skin tone groupings of emojis using a convenient pop-up dialog.
- Cursor themes settings now getting more accurate previews on Plasma 6.7.
- Plasma 6.7 is fixing an issue where KWin could cause the screen to go black during activities such as "intensive Alt + Tab usage".
- The KRDP KDE remote desktop support no longer requires systemd.
- A variety of bug fixes have landed for Plasma 6.6.
