Plasma 5.24 Perfect Harmony Plasma 5.24 improves in looks, ease of use and consistency. 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, evolving the design, and
improving the overall feel and usability of the environment.

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.
Notificações
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.
Gerenciador de tarefas
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.
