Filip Fila and Nuno Pineiro are bringing the classic #Oxygen #theme back to Plasma

Tastefully colourful icons, shadows, transparencies and shiny buttons are all part of the spectacular reimagined themes Air and Oxygen being painstakingly reconstructed from scratch by the designers.

Filip includes download links in his blog post so you too can trial-run both themes now:

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...

You can now easily adjust your mike's sensitivity before blowing all your fellow meeting mates' eardrums out, the screens on the sharing/casting chooser get fancy backgrounds, and Plasma's animations, vaults, and folder chooser dialogs land a variety of enhancements and improvements.

#KDE #Plasma6 and #Dolphin are great, but the mouse hover tooltip is terrible. It’s a huge box full of completely useless information. For example, the file size. “Size: 3 items”? It should be in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. Why is there a star rating? And with image files, the box is even bigger. You can’t even change these settings.

#KDE #Plasma6 ja #Dolphin ovat muuten hyviä, mutta hiiren hover tooltip on syvältä. Hemmetin iso laatikko, jossa aivan turhia asioita. Esim. arvostelu. Mitä? Koko: 3 kohdetta? Pitäisi olla koko kilo-, mega- tai gigatavuina. Kuvatiedoston kanssa vielä isompi laatikko. Näitä ei voi mitenkään muuttaa edes.

KDE 6_26.03 for Slackware-current

Yesterday evening, KDE released their Frameworks 6.24.0 and taking advantage of the moment and even before morning coffee, I uploaded the Slackware packages for these new Frameworks.

Alongside with these Frameworks, I built a package for the third Beta of Krita 6.0.0 – the KDE drawing tool will finally be available as a Qt6 based application with proper Wayland support.
