KDE's Cube Effect Now Launches More Reliably & Other Post-6.1 Plasma Fixes

([KDE] 6 Hours Ago KDE Plasma 6.1 Fixes)


Following this week's great [1]KDE Plasma 6.1 desktop release , developers have been fixing some minor bugs and other issues that were raised by early users of this updated open-source Qt6-powered desktop.

KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekend recap of all the interesting KDE changes for the week. Most of the week was spent prepping for KDE Plasma 6.1 and then in turn addressing some of the limited fallout from this new feature release. There have been a number of fixes and clean-ups to land, such as KWin's Cube effect can now be opened more reliably with Plasma 6.1.1.

KDE's Zoom effect and ICC color profiles now cooperate better and there have also been a seemingly never-ending flow of KWin fixes. Plus there are various smaller UI refinements that landed this week.

Those interested in learning more about the KDE changes for this week can see [2]Nate's blog for all the details.

Price Wang's programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon
the keyboard. The program compiled without an error message, and the program
ran like a gentle wind.
Excellent!" the Price exclaimed, "Your technique is faultless!"
"Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I
follow is the Tao -- beyond all technique. When I first began to program I
would see before me the whole program in one mass. After three years I no
longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing.
My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit,
free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program
writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them
coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code
and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the
program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my
eyes for a moment and then log off."
Price Wang said, "Would that all of my programmers were as wise!"
