We are pleased to announce that Plasma 5.24 is now available in our backports PPA for Kubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri). The release announcement detailing the new features and improvements in Plasma 5.24 can be found here. To upgrade: Add the ... [More] following repository to your software sources list: ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports or if it is already added, the updates should become available via your preferred update method. The PPA can be added manually in the Konsole terminal with the command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports and packages then updated with sudo apt full-upgrade IMPORTANT Please note that more bugfix releases are scheduled by KDE for Plasma 5.24, so while we feel these backports will be beneficial to enthusiastic adopters, users wanting to use a Plasma release with more rounds of stabilisation/bugfixes ‘baked in’ may find it advisable to stay with Plasma 5.22 as included in the original 21.10 (Impish Indri) release. The Kubuntu Backports PPA for 21.10 also currently contains newer versions of KDE Gear (formerly Applications) and other KDE software. The PPA will also continue to receive updated versions of KDE packages other than Plasma, for example KDE Frameworks. Issues with Plasma itself can be reported on the KDE bugtracker [1]. In the case of packaging or other issues, please provide feedback on our mailing list [2], IRC [3], and/or file a bug against our PPA packages [4]. 1. KDE bugtracker: https://bugs.kde.org2.

Reflections enhance the realism of a rendered 3D scene and without it we can not have objects like mirrors or puddles of water that reflect the surrounding environment. Raster rendering pipelines like QtQuick3D can approximately calculate ... [More] reflections using different methods to get good results, as opposed to Ray Tracing where reflections can be calculated accurately by following the light rays and checking where they bounce from. In this blog post, we are going to discuss two different techniques to do reflections in QtQuick3D.   [Less]

Yesterday, KDE released version 5.24 of the Plasma desktop with the usual long list of updates and improvements. This release will be considered a LTS release. And Plasma 5.24 is now available for all Debian releases. (And don’t forget KDE Gears/Apps ... [More] 21.12!) As usual, I am providing packages via my OBS builds. If you have used my packages till now, then you only need to change the plasma5XX line to read plasma524. To give full details, I repeat (and update) instructions for all here: First of all, you need to add my OBS key say in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/obs-npreining.asc and add a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs-npreining-kde.list, containing the following lines, replacing the DISTRIBUTION part with one of Debian_11 (for Bullseye), Debian_Testing, or Debian_Unstable: deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/DISTRIBUTION/ ./ deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/DISTRIBUTION/ ./ deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/plasma524/DISTRIBUTION/ ./ deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2112/DISTRIBUTION/ ./ deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/DISTRIBUTION/ ./ The sharp eye might have detected also the apps2112 line, yes the KDE Gear suite of packages has been updated to 21.12 some time ago and is also available in my OBS builds (and in Debian/experimental). Just one warning, but I guess most people using these repos already know it: Since I am not using Debian (lovely politics!) for my main machine anymore (only for my laptop for now), I haven’t tested these packages as solidly as the one up to now. Still, I got already one positive installation feedback. Enjoy the new Plasma! [Less]

The Plasma Mobile team is happy to announce the Plasma Mobile updates for January to February 2022. Shell Plasma 5.24 was released on February 8th, with many changes to the Plasma Mobile shell. The primary shell repository (and corresponding package ... [More] name for distributions) has been renamed from plasma-phone-components to plasma-mobile. Devin Lin did a lot of work on the shell for this release. Status Bar and Quick Settings Panel The Settings panel has gone through a re-design to improve its looks, and gained new media and notifications widgets. We also implemented a new landscape format for tablets which we plan to improve moving forward. We carried out a comprehensive clean up of the code, and it now uses a much more reliable method for detecting flicks. This should provide a smoother gesture experience. Task Switcher & Navigation Panel The task switcher was rewritten to use a single row of thumbnails with gesture support. We fixed the bugs in the navigation panel that sometimes caused it to gray out, and in the showing of thumbnails in the task switcher. We explored the possibility of having full gesture navigation (without the navigation panel), but this is not available in the 5.24 release. Homescreen The Homescreen received a lot of fixes and optimizations in this update. KRunner now pops up on the Homescreen when performing a swipe down gesture, allowing for easier searching. The app drawer open/close gesture was rewritten to fix stutters and make flicks smoother. Plasmoids and apps placed on the Homescreen also received fixes for when they are placed and removed. The startup indicator when launching an app and the task switcher now reuse the Homescreen window rather than creating new windows. This greatly improves the smoothness of animations on the PinePhone. Other Aleix Pol implemented mobile designs for XDG portal dialogs. Settings Devin added a new search feature, as well as a widescreen mode for tablets. He also changed the header style to show a back button rather than breadcrumbs. With this improvement, the system module names don’t go off the screen. Clock Devin reworked the backend daemon to better support custom ringtones for alarms. He also reworked the UX of list editing and forms in the application. In-app dialogs were also added to control ringing alarms and timers, as opposed to only being able to do so in notifications. Calindori Devin took over as caretaker for Calindori, previously unmaintained, and started work on improving the application UX. QMLKonsole Devin fixed the Ctrl and Alt buttons that had not been working, as well as some issues with the physical keyboard focus. Recorder Devin fixed dialogs that were immediately closing when opened, and some visual issues when new recordings were being added. PlasmaTube Devin reworked application navigation to use a bottom toolbar, as well as back-button based headers. Plasma Dialer Similar to other applications, Devin updated the sidebar button style to follow Plasma style and improved the page navigation. He also added settings and About pages. Alexey added a prompt dialog to clear the history of calls. He also fixed regressions and restored audio profiles switching during a call and automatic return from a call status page after a call. He also added support for choosing phone numbers via the Contacts menu when there are several numbers for the same contact. Another of Alexey’s contribution is the logic (based on initial work carried out by Nicolas Fella) that pauses active media players on the device during incoming calls. Kasts Apart from bugfixing, Bart optimized the player controls for landscape orientation on mobile. Angelfish Felipe Kinoshita added a desktop UI to Angelfish which already has almost the same feature set of the mobile UI. In the future we will try to bring all features to the desktop version, and share even more code than we do now. As a result of this effort, the settings were ported to Kirigami.CategorizedSettings, so they can appear in an additional window on the desktop, while being shown as a page on mobile devices. In addition to that, Jonah worked on some fixes for the AdBlock filter list updater. NeoChat Fushan Wen added support for minimizing the application to the system tray on startup, and Carl Schwan improved the Internet connectivity check. It is now using the connectivity to the server instead of using the global network connection. He also added support for sharing files directly from NeoChat with other applications and online services, such as Nextcloud, Imgur, etc. Tobias Fella implemented a feature that lets users add labels to accounts. This makes it easier to use NeoChat with multiple accounts. The NeoChat team also worked on reducing many of the open tickets by fixing minor bugs, closing duplicate tickets and implementing many small features. Tokodon Carl fixed uploading files and cleaned up the code. Devin fixed the mobile sidebar handle icon. Contributing Want to help with the development of Plasma Mobile?

We’ve released a new video! Ramon talks about the new perspective assistant in Krita 5: The post Multiple Perspective appeared first on Krita.

Today the KDE Community releases Plasma 5.24, a Long Term Support (LTS) release that will receive updates and bugfixes until the final Plasma 5 version, before we transition to Plasma 6. This new Plasma release focuses on smoothing out wrinkles ... [More] , evolving the design, and improving the overall feel and usability of the environment. Things to look for in Plasma 5.24: Highlights Overview Use Overview to manage all your desktops and applications KRunner Discover KRunner features with the help assistant Fingerprint Readers Unlock the screen and authenticate apps with your fingerprints Desktop and Panel The first thing you will notice is Ken Vermette’s spectacular new wallpaper for Plasma 5.24. Ken created the Honeywave wallpaper and streamed the process live on YouTube, giving Plasma a whole new look. If you happen to prefer something else as your background, you can now set your wallpaper just by right-clicking on any picture in Dolphin and selecting Set as Wallpaper from the context menu. Furthermore, if you use the Picture of the Day wallpaper plugin, it can now pull images from Simon Stålenhag’s gallery, which is full of cool and creepy sci-fi images. Bring up the desktop context menu again and you will notice that there is a new Configure Display Settings item. This lets you adjust your screens' resolution, orientation, scaling, and position relative to other monitors. Desktop Panels are now easier to move around and stick to any edge you want, as you can now drag them from anywhere on their toolbar while in Edit Mode. And when you drag-and-drop widgets onto the desktop and move them around, they now smoothly animate moving to their final position rather than instantly teleporting there. Looks and Themes After the spectacular new wallpaper, the next thing you will notice are the changes to Breeze, Plasma’s default theme. It has received a visual refresh to make it more closely match the Breeze style for apps, improving the visual consistency between them. Plasma is all about customization, and we have worked on making the process clear and simple so you can adapt your environment exactly to how you like it. That is why the default Breeze color scheme has been renamed to Breeze Classic, to better distinguish it from the Breeze Light and Breeze Dark color schemes. Speaking of colors, Breeze now extends the feature that lets you pick accent colors (introduced in Plasma 5.23) and now lets you pick any color you’d like, should the pre-selected colors fail to tickle your fancy. Not only that, but changing the color scheme now toggles the standardized FreeDesktop light/dark color scheme preference. This means that non-KDE apps that respect this preference will automatically switch to light or dark mode based on your chosen color scheme. Global Themes can also specify and change the layouts of KDE’s Latte Dock. A theme must not only be beautiful, but it must make life easy for users. That is why we made the focus effect for user interface controls into a large “focus ring”. This makes the item that has keyboard focus much easier to perceive at a glance. Notifications To make critically important Plasma notifications stand out, they now come with an orange strip on the side to visually distinguish them from less urgent messages. Meanwhile, we have improved the contrast and visibility of the header and title labels in all notifications to make them easier to read. Another visual enhancement is that notifications about video files now display a thumbnail of the video in the notification itself, just like for image files. System Tray and Widgets Many widgets have received new features and subtle enhancements that improve their looks, the relevance of their information, and ease of navigating them. For example, we have added a Date always below time option for the Digital Clock. The Weather widget asks you to configure it when you add it for the first time to the tray, and now automatically searches through all available weather sources. The Battery & Brightness widget has been made clearer and now shows a more accurate title and icon for computers with no batteries. The new versions of the Clipboard and Network widgets can now be navigated with just your keyboard. Task Manager When you hover the cursor above a Task Manager item, the window thumbnail tooltip that pops up is now significantly faster to load, and display a volume slider for windows playing audio. The Task Manager’s context menus have been clarified and simplified. Start New Instance, for example, is now Open New Window and no longer appears for apps marked as having a single main window. Meanwhile, the More Actions item has been moved to the bottom of the menu and changed to just More. System Settings Version after version, KDE developers and designers work to make System Settings easier and faster to use. You can see the progress and attention to detail in such small things as System Settings' own settings: there were so few options that developers have moved them to the hamburger menu that you can see next to the Search text box, preventing the need to clutter up your workspace with another window. If you are using Plasma in a language other than English, we also have you covered. You can use the Search field to find terms both in your language and English without having to switch from one to the other, just in case it has not been translated yet or you are more familiar with the English term. The Add a keyboard layout dialog has been redesigned for simplicity and ease of use. Other design and usability improvements have been added to Night Color, the speaker test sheet in System Settings' Audio page, and the battery charge limit feature. For people wanting to fine-tune their monitors, the Display & Monitor section now shows the scale factor used for each screen as well as their proper physical resolution. For your convenience, when you enable auto-login, you now get a warning about some changes you might want to make to your KWallet setup for optimal usability. Window Management You can better leverage the power of multiple desktops in Plasma 5.24 with the new Overview effect. It is still in beta testing, but you can enable it in System Settings' Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects page and give it a whirl. Activate it by holding down the Meta (Windows key) on your keyboard and pressing the w key to see an overview of all your open windows and virtual desktops. You can activate windows, drag and drop windows from one desktop to another, and use the powerful KRunner assistant to search, calculate and run tasks all from the same place. In addition, the Cover Flip and Flip Switch effects are back! You can find them in the System Settings Window Management > Task Switcher page. These effects let you visually flip through open windows as if they were a deck of cards. Among the more subtle changes are that Plasma now “remembers” which window was on which screen even when the screen in question is turned off, and performance has been improved for machines with NVIDIA video cards. Finally, new windows are now opened in the center of the screen by default. Discover Discover now gives you the option to automatically restart after an update has completed. Simply click the checkbox at the bottom of the Updates page, grab a caffeinated beverage, and go enjoy a break. By the time you return, Plasma will have rebooted into the brand new updated system. We have also added a mobile mode for when you use it on a phone: If it is on a wide screen, its home page will show a two-column card view. Open it on a phone and it will show a bottom tab bar in narrow/mobile mode. Other improvements are that checking for updates is much faster, and the Update page is now less overwhelming, with a nicer design to select updates. Additionally, it tells you the source of the updates. Speaking of which… Discover has supported Flatpaks for quite some time, but now locally downloaded Flatpak packages can be opened and installed with Discover, and their repositories automatically get added to your system. Discover also tries to be smarter and friendlier and helps with suggestions if it can’t find exactly what you are looking for. Installation error messages are also more user-friendly and come with a new Report a problem link at the bottom of each description page. If you have a problem with an update, click the link and it takes you straight to the bug tracker page for your operating system. Developers have also included a new safety measure in Discover that stops you from uninstalling your Plasma desktop by mistake. KRunner KRunner can already find documents and web pages, run commands, convert units and currencies, give you definitions of words, do high level math — and new features are being added with plugins all the time. It can be hard to keep up with everything it can do! But now it’s easy to become a KRunner whiz: click on the question mark icon on the toolbar and KRunner will show a list of available plugins and how to use them. Click on a plugin from the list and you’ll see all the information you need to use it to its fullest. Login/Lock Screen Fingerprint authentication is now incorporated into Plasma. You can also enroll up to 10 fingerprints and use them to unlock the screen, provide authentication when an app asks for your password, and also authenticate you when you need to run a command with sudofrom the command line. Speaking of the lock screen, now you can put your machine to sleep or hibernate it from the lock screen without having to unlock it first. Wayland Wayland is the upcoming graphical system that will soon replace the aging X11 system. Wayland opens up a world of possibility for more stable and visually consistent applications, support for touch screens and devices that detect orientation, and more. Adapting KDE’s desktop to Wayland continues at a brisk pace with a massive number of improvements, including support for colors greater than 8 bits, VR headsets with optimal performance, and drawing tablets. In that vein, when using a stylus, you can now activate other windows from their titlebars and interact more with titlebars in general. Another improvement for tactile input is that the system tray item for showing and hiding the virtual keyboard becomes active only in tablet mode, and the virtual keyboard itself only appears when you explicitly focus a text control with a touch or stylus poke. Wayland versions of apps and components are quickly acquiring all the features that are putting them on par with their X11 equivalents. For example, you can now set a primary monitor, the Spectacle screen-grabber app has now access to the Active Window mode, and the Minimize All Windows widget now works. Likewise, many keyboard shortcuts available in X11 are all being gradually implemented; like the Meta + Tab key combo, which is used to cycle through activities, and already works in Wayland. Other Updates Scrollable controls in Plasma now only change their contents when you start scrolling on them. This means you can’t accidentally change things while scrolling the view. Plasma now shuts down faster, as it no longer accepts new connections after it has begun the shutdown process. This is especially helpful when using KDE Connect. … And there’s much more going on. If you would like to see the full list of changes, check out the changelog for Plasma 5.24. [Less]

  We are pleased to announce a new stable release of MauiKit Frameworks and Maui Apps!   Stable release This version of Maui brings new features and bug fixes to Maui’s applications and the frameworks they rely on. The changes introduced in this ... [More] release will make your experience with Maui Apps much more enjoyable and feature rich across different devices and form factors. Read on to find out how Maui’s software has improved and what new features to look out for:     MauiKit Frameworks 2.1.1 MauiKit is a group of frameworks used to craft Maui applications. It comes with common widgets ready to work well on small phone screens and bigger desktop computer monitors. But that’s not all: MauiKit also comes with a set of utilities that help developers build applications more quickly with more complex and ready-made widgets. These include a text editor, an image viewer, or a file explorer, among others. In this updated version, the graphical components have been polished. New widgets have been added to the MauiKit Core library, making navigation easier on phones, desktop computers, and other devices. Before continuing, just a quick reminder: you can check the previous Maui Reports leading up to this new stable release at: Maui Report 17 MauiKit Once again, the framework has been cleaned up, and many bugs have been solved, resulting in better performance and optimizations. A few new controls have also been added, this is a quick overview of what’s new: Core Animations were added to different controls, such as TabBar, SelectionBar, and AbstractSideBar. New custom TextFields and derivatives SearchField and PasswordField, following Maui HIG. Tweaks to implementation of the ToolBar layout and BasicToolButton; The GridView browser issue causing to trigger delegates when scrolling has been fixed. Fixes to AbstractSidebar bug causing overlaps with toolbars. Uniform size of checkboxes on checkable delegates from ListBrowserDelegate. The AppView viewport buttons can now have badges to add notifications,  with the attached property Maui.AppView.badgeText. Fixes to rounded elements using masking layers. Correctly make use of the attached property Window.window to get to the application root window, so the lookup from Mauikit controls for the window size is more direct. Holder messages alignment has been shifted to the left. The ImageViewer control zooming behavior has been fixed. Added custom ScrollView control to better handle the padding of the view. For horizontally scrolling with a mouse wheel, now you need to use the Alt key modifier, that’s for scrollable toolbars for example. FileBrowsing FileDialog now uses the quick places toggle-style from Index. Uses new TextFields from MauiKit. TextEditor The TextArea is now no longer shadowed by the Plasma styling implementation adding extra components resulting in two popup menus. Now the TextEditor is in full control of it. ImageTools & Accounts Update the controls to use the latest updates from MauiKit core controls.   Maui Apps 2.1.1 The Maui Project provides a set of applications to cover your phone, tablet, or desktop needs. The Maui line of apps currently includes a file manager (Index), a music player (Vvave), an image viewer (Pix), a text editor (Nota), an app for note-taking (Buho), a terminal emulator (Station), an app to manage your contacts (Communicator), a document viewer (Shelf), a video player (Clip), a camera app (Booth), and a web browser (Sol). You can grab the APKs, AppImages and TAR packages from KDE downloads page: https://download.kde.org/stable/maui/   Index & Station Highlights: The overview page on Index, listing recent and favorite files, has been improved with bigger previews. The Index file previewer popup has now a cleaner UI. The Station quick access buttons are now bolder. Vvave & Pix Highlights: Moving around tracks on the main playlist is now smoother. And the current track index is re-assigned correctly. Added an equalizer indicator to Vvave’s main playlist currently playing track. When playing music Vvave now inhibits the machine’s sleep state. Pix and Vvave now use the latest MauiKit controls. Nota & Clip Highlights: Updated to use latest MauiKit TextEditor fixes. Both now use the updated and new MauiKit Core controls Fixes to Clip MPV backend implementation. Clip now can play more video formats. Buho & Shelf Highlights: Updated both to use the new MauiKit Core controls Custom file sources can now be added and removed from Shelf.  Sol & Communicator Highlights: Updated both to use the updated and new MauiKit Core controls Distribution If you are interested in using the Maui Apps, there are different ways you can do so: MauiKit Frameworks and Maui Apps are packaged by different distros, like Arch, and derived distros, such as Manjaro; KDE Neon on unstable repositories, postmarketOS, and Nitrux OS. Maui Apps are shipped by default on Nitrux OS, and Manjaro for Plasma Mobile. So you can wait a few days for the distributions to update the packages for you. For using Maui Apps on Android, we provide APK packages. The links to the packages will be listed here, and can also be found on the Maui official webpage under each app section. There is an active task to start publishing the apps to the platforms respective stores, you can follow up the progress at: https://invent.kde.org/maui/mauikit/-/issues/32​ AppImage packages are also available for AMD64 and ARM, so you can also grab one of them, also linked in this blog post.
