KDE

Hi,

There's an option for night light to be manually controlled, but then it has to be enabled by default on boot ("always on") :

There's also an option to disable it by default, but then it requires opening settings to enable ("always off") :

How to make it manual but without enabling it by default ?

Thanks

Decided to try some new distros and this time it's Bazzite. I can't figure out any way to make any kind of custom themes work and look as expected. I tried few themes with transparent windows from "Global Themes (Plasma 6)" category but transparency doesn't seem to work in any single one of them. I've seen general KDE suggestions to try forceblur/betterblur plugins but it requires compiling it manually and since it is Bazzite, it's quite complicated and I couldn't figure it out (if I compile it in distrobox for some kind of Fedora, will it even work for my Bazzite? if I don't use distrobox, how do I even compile it? it needs tons of extra dnf dev packages). I installed Kvantum via rpm-ostree, but turns out, it doesn't style taskbar and console (also firefox, but I could live with that since I probably can find a matching firefox theme). Any suggestions?

Just sat down to do my finances and some budget planning, and the settings are suddenly missing the aqBanking item:

Old view from a guide screenshot:

I checked the changelog and did a quick online search, which did not yield a clear result to me why that could be the case. (I did a text search on the changelog for "aq" and "online b", none of which gave me results. Online search results yielded tutorials for configuring aqBanking from how I was used to utilising it.)

aqbanking is installed, as per my package manager (I'm on Garuda Linux, so, Arch based), and everything worked before the update. Nothing that looks right appears in the plugin list of KMyMoney, and there does not seem to be a way to add more plugins from within that menu:

My accounts are still shown as mapped to something - as I get the option to "unmap account", but I cannot, as before the update, use the "update account" function to get a statement from my bank automatically, as before:

It's not critical at this point, but I really enjoyed using KMyMoney and was very well used to the workflow I had established with it - so any help would be appreciated (including, perhaps pointing something obvious out to me I may have missed).

Talking of awesome KDE apps, digiKam 8.7.0 has just been released!

"This Week in KDE Apps" brings the news that Dolphin gets new looks, and its connectivity to Samba shares improves; Photos, the image viewer that works both on desktops and mobiles, can share photos again; and KRetro, the app for retro gaming, gets one step closer to being incubated as an official KDE app, among many other things.

I created a picture frame for the KDE Desktop. Ideal for embedding personal photos, logos, QR codes

Firefox seemingly very recently shipped their own titlebar controls buttons, which worsens even further the lackluster OS integration. In the screenshot you see my regular control buttons on the window to the left (default KDE Plasma theme) and the new custom buttons Firefox is serving now.

Would anyone know how to undo that change in about:config or anywhere else?

I just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 (from 6.3.5) on OpenSUSE TW, and it automatically applied the Ocean sound theme. This included a new sound when changing the volume, which is fine, but it's way louder and hurts my ears when using headphones, which is less fine (I have some sensory issues which may be related). I've figured out how to disable it, but is there a way to just turn it down?

For now I've gone back to the FreeDesktop sounds (which has the much more pleasant to me popping sound) but I'd like to try out the Ocean sound theme without hurting my ears or disabling the volume control audio feedback.

🌟 Hablando de Falkon, descubrí que KDE también tiene su propia suite de oficina: Calligra. ¡Es increíble! Incluye herramientas como Words para textos, Sheets para hojas de cálculo y Stage para presentaciones.
Me sorprende que exista una solución tan completa. Si no lo has probado, ¡te animo a que lo hagas! Me encantaría saber qué piensan quienes ya lo han usado. ¡Déjenme sus comentarios! Siempre es genial compartir descubrimientos.😍

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that QtQuick-based KDE software acquires inertial scrolling using touchpads, the inbuilt RDP service supports syncing clipboard text between client and server, and session restore (Plasma remembering the position and size of windows) is coming to Wayland, among many other things:

a huge problem that makes me still stick in X11 is the lack of allow make an app receive mouse events instead tablet events.

Wayland by design needs the clients handle tablet events otherwise it would be broken unlike X11 and Win32 that only make usage of tablet events when you enable it.

This could be a problem for some apps (mostly proprietary ones) that use GUI toolkits (very older versions of Qt or GTK) lacking proper support of graphics tablet protocol.

I wanted something I could embed buttons in panels and configure from the GUI. Third plasmoid ive put together, second one I've published.

[Reposted because I got the title wrong]

So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could).

I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important).

I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons.

All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster.

I hope you all enjoy it.

I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

Just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 from 6.3.5 (or .4? I forget) on Arch and all of my custom keyboard shortcuts for the Wayland session got reset. Was this an Arch thing or did the maintainers decide it was a good idea to reset custom shortcuts for the new point release? Is there any way to prevent that from happening in the future?
