KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Make Sure You Don't Miss Your Low Battery Notifications While Gaming

([KDE] 5 Hours Ago KDE Plasma)


KDE developers continue with last minute bug fixes ahead of the Plasma 6.7 desktop release later this month as well as preparing early feature work toward Plasma 6.8 and also landing more fixes for the current Plasma 6.6 stable series.

This Week in Plasma is out with its latest issue to highlight recent interesting developments to KDE Plasma. Some of this weeks highlights, which largely revolve around bug fixes, include:

- Plasma 6.8 will now present notifications around low battery power within full-screen apps, so you don't miss out on such important notifications when gaming or other full-screen apps.

- A bug fix for Plasma 6.6.6 to fix a Plasma crash while refreshing the list of nearby WiFi networks.

- A fix for Plasma 6.7 with VNC-based screen sharing that had prevented the Ctrl and Alt modifiers from being sent correctly.

- Plasma 6.7 also has seen a fix for a freeze that could happen if quickly switching months in the Digital Clock widget.

- With KDE Frameworks 5.27, switching between light and global dark themes will no longer result in some UI elements in Plasma only changing their colors half-way.

- Various other bug fixes for Plasma 6.7 as well as the 6.6.6 point release.
