KDE Plasma 6.5 brings quick settings toggles!
KDE Plasma 6.5 is an upcoming KDE desktop environment version that brings a ton of awesome features that make it easier to use than the current Plasma 6.4 desktop. This version is a promising release that will improve your Plasma desktop with many improvements and new features.
Last week, the team showcased the day/night theme switching for wallpapers where the desktop would automatically switch between day and night themes based on the time of the day in your location. This week, the KDE development team brought some of the most interesting changes that allow you to quickly configure your system right from the Settings app.
In the settings sidebar, pages in the System Settings app can now interact with the parent window, making quick toggles and other exported actions possible. This is to save time from having to go to a settings section to be able to, for example, turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Currently, this is only rolled out to Bluetooth settings, but, in future development iterations of Plasma 6.5, Wi-Fi and other settings should use this feature soon.
The pages can also mark themselves as “not relevant” when certain conditions for accessing the settings page are not met. For example, if a settings page requires certain hardware, and your PC doesn’t have it, that page will no longer be accessible. This saves time from having to go to a certain settings page when you discover that none of the options there are relevant for your PC.
KDE Plasma 6.5 will be released later this year, and it includes many bug fixes and general improvements that make your desktop more stable and reliable.
