KDE developers remain very busy working on the Plasma 6 desktop and associated apps. Developer Nate Graham is out with his usual Saturday recap of all the interesting KDE material to be merged this week. Some highlights this week include:
- The Dolphin file manager by default now selects everything within a folder when double clicking on its view background.
- The Elisa music player can shuffle the playlist contents by album, not just by track.
- KDE on Wayland can now be configured with KWin to pull color profile information from the monitor's EDID where supported.
- For Plasma's lock screen, when the clock disappears so will the cursor too. In turn the KDE Plasma lock screen can act like a "true screensaver" when paired with a wallpaper plug-in.
- Smooth scrolling for QML-based apps is now optional but remains on by default.
- Command bars within Qt Widgets based apps have received a visual overhaul to match the more minimalistic style.
