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.

KDE Plasma 6.5 features automatic day/night theme switching
An upcoming version of KDE Plasma 6.x series, which is Plasma v6.5, incorporates a feature that many people have been waiting for since the introduction of light/dark mode themes. This feature is called Automatic Day/Night Theme Switching, and it uses the sunrise and the sunset times, configured for your location, to automatically change the desktop themes according to the time of the day.
To be more specific, if you’re using your computer during the day time, KDE Plasma 6.5 will automatically change the theme of your desktop to the light theme of your choice. In the contrary, if you’re using your desktop during the night, the desktop environment will change the theme to the dark theme of your choice.
You can also choose which of the global themes are shown right from the quick settings, making configuration easier and faster than ever. Alongside that, you can also turn on automatic day/night theme switching from there, too! This means that you have two ways to enable this long-awaited feature.
This feature will land to the final version of KDE Plasma 6.5, which will be released on October 21st. However, distributions may take time to utilize this version of KDE Plasma, depending on what distribution you’re running. For example, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will use this version of KDE Plasma, while Arch Linux picks up the latest version in the matter of days.

Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole gets the KDE 6 update! This means that you’ll be able to experience the newness and the awesomeness of the modern KDE desktop that replaces the 5.x series that was released on 2014.
It’s a revolution for Kubuntu users who are looking for the Plasma 6 desktop. If you’re running Kubuntu 24.10, you can now upgrade to Plasma 6 by initiating the full system upgrade.
Did you remember this development version of Plasma 6 that was demonstrated by KaOS back on September 2023? And did you remember that we had told you in the early stages of development that KDE 6.x will be included in the final version of Ubuntu 24.10?
KDE Plasma 6 features a sleek desktop design that follows the modern principles of this time and age, as well as new features, such as the return of Desktop Cube, the new “Ocean” sound theme, and the support for Islamic Hijri calendar. It also brings improvements that improve your user experience, such as panel settings being exposed in a nicer way and the visualizer for the Night Light transition time.
Now, you can see the demonstration of the desktop running under KDE Plasma 6.1!
Enjoy!

KDE Plasma 6.1 Released With… Well, Quite a Lot!
KDE Plasma 6.1 has been released with a plethora of productivity and performance-minded improvements. Building on the KDE Plasma 6.0 release from earlier in this year, the 6.1 update sees KDE developers deliver “improvements and powerful new features to every part of your desktop”, with promises that future updates will see things ‘get more interesting’. Plasma 6.1 allows users to initiate a remote desktop access straight from the System Settings app, to which Remote Desktop clients, like KRDC, can connect. RDP features aren’t new to KDE per se, but this new integration makes setting up connections easier. KDE is king —or queen, :sys_more_orange:
